I appreciate you stopping by to check out the desk. It sold really quickly in my booth. So, now it’s gone to a new home to live happily every after.

I love how this desk came out! The stencils on the side of the draws are so sweet. It came out amazing!

Carol,
Thanks so much for your kind comment on the desk with missing drawers. I’m in love with that color. It’s “almost” black. 🙂

Hi Gail! I too love the desk and that paint colour. However, I’m not a fan of the side decoration. Maybe if the sides of the drawers had been painted a lighter grey instead of being kept natural wood? The decorative pattern is quite nice, but it seems difficult to come up with an even colour with this tool. I suspect re-rolling could look messy if not positioned exactly on the same spot?

Mona,

Isn’t it scrumptious? I will definitely be using it again, and have already ordered another quart!

thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment.

In reply to Ione McDonnell.

Ione,
First, let me say I’m sorry for your loss. Your sweet comment caught me off guard and made me tear up. Your words were so sweet and kind, just the “atta girl” I needed today. YOU are why I do what I do. I LOVE to encourage other women to do this. It’s so rewarding, and we’re keeping stuff out of the landfill. It’s definitely a WIN/WIN!
What you may not know is how my blog name came to be… lots of unexpected life changes, and I too needed a re PURPOSE for my next chapter. Enjoy writing the rest of YOUR book with your new chapters!
hugs!
