The projects Ive been working on lately: Furniture AND Me...

So I have neglected my little newborn baby blog for 10 days! I cant believe its been so long. I have done a few projects lately that have kept me busy, but that is only part of why Ive been incognito... I promised myself Id be myself and be honest; so to be honest what Ive really been doing in the past 10 days is doubting myself. At first I had such a rush from starting this blog and telling you all about this journey Im headed down, and then that I starting getting nervous and thinking it was a joke... I mean really? Who is going to read this and why would they want to... seriously my mom and my sister are my only subscribers!! Lol Well funny enough I was watching a video the other day and Ana White (whom I adore!!) was speaking to an interviewer about finding your passion in blogging. She said, "even if your mom is the only one who reads it, just do it!!"  I laughed then cried and thought ok fine, Ill do it... besides this is good therapy and at the very least its my, although very public, journal.

So I am back, and outside of feeling like a narcissist, I have completed a few new pieces. First one being this very cute old desk. I picked it up off Craigslist for $50 and turned around and sold it for $150... I think I could have made a better profit on it if I had just asked for a few more dollars off the asking. The guy didnt seem too attached to the desk but I was a little embarrassed to ask. So I swore next time I would not put my ego ahead of an extra $10's off that I could potentially feed my son with... Worse thing that could happen was he said no, right?

Ok enough about that, here is the desk BEFORE...

I used my favorite primer based paint from Valspar, color is called Malted Milk. It took 3 coats of paint, then I finished the hardware off by spray painting them Rustoleums flat black spray paint... and now AFTER...

TAAA DAAA!!!

Hope y'all like it! This was one I was very proud of and actually wanted to keep... But as a single momma I needed the money more than I needed a new desk :) I have a few more pieces to share with you but its getting late and I need something to write about tomorrow. So if you are secretly reading this and not subscribing (THANK YOU!! LOL) then youll have to log back on tomorrow to see what else Ive done lately... sweet dreams!! (mom) xoxo
