Desk Project...coming along...

Hello everyone! The desk I posted about yesterday is coming along beautifully! Here are some pics... and some other things I did along the way...

I had to choose paint and ended up going with the Valspar (my favorite spray paint from Lowes) tan paint.



Next, Evan already being a boy- enjoying being outside.

This is the mirror above the desk that has been needing a coat of paint for quite a while...


I covered the most of the mirror with some paper and then used a white primer and then a satin white spray paint in this. 
I measured 6" between lines and then taped the lines off with some sealing masking tape.

 Spray away...

Took off the tape...

There was a little overspray that you can sort of see here, but since the lines were straight I decided to leave it bc it actually looks like I meant it to be that way...:) I also added new hardware.

  
Tried a clock but didn't like that...


Yes, I know, too much on the left hand side floor and we've got to do something with all those wires! Now onto covering the ottoman...I love this black and white but am leaning towards the next fabric I have here...

I am loving the blue in this Waverly Lattice Lapis but I think it will be too busy... I am planning to paint a stripe of the print below down the wall so... (sorry about the play yard and other things in the background- I am in a hurry-Evan is sleeping:)



This is the pattern I am getting to put on the wall...

 That being said, I think I might go with this coral fabric so there are not too many busy prints...


...or this one....


Which fabric should I use? Have a great weekend stay tuned for the next phase (covering the ottoman) of this project. Hopefully, I'll have time to include a tutorial for covering the ottoman. :)

  1. Very Cute Elisabeth! I just love it! You are just so crafty and so good at what you love to do! :) I think it looks great. Especially the tan and dark blue combination with the "coral" print fabric. :) I do LOVE it! :)
