Just thought I would show you a little of what is going on in my house this week...its just another week full of building and painting...but I am super excited about this project!
You see, I fell in love with this desk from Pottery Barn...it is a simple, uncomplicated style and it was my favorite color...white. It was love at first sight....

...but I did not love the price tag. So, what's a girl to do???...build one herself, of course! (Or cook a week full of fabulous meals for her husband and ask in her most persuasive voice for him to build one for her. I went with that plan.)
So this week, after my sweet hubby gets home from his super-stressful, manly-man job...he gets to unwind and relax by spending a little quiet time with his tape measure and table saw. I am forever grateful he loves to do these things for me, and even more grateful one of us took math class seriously in high-school. I think there would be a few frustrated freak-outs if I was really the one that had to build it. Hopefully, by the weekend I will be painting my gorgeous Pottery Barn inspired...but waaaaay less expesive desk for my newly renovated home office.
Oh, and just in case he gets my desk done a day early...I have drawn out the plans for one of these, too!

I have a wall in my kitchen just waiting for this. Each night, about 5:30, my husband hears me complaining about my train-wreck of a spice cabinet and how I can't find a freakin' thing in it! So I am sure he will be happy to accomodate.
LOVE handy husbands! Can't wait to see the finished product(s).

ReplyDeleteSigh* * love that desk too!
ReplyDeleteHandy hubs are the best. I adore mine & request "projects" out of him often. I even have a project list he hates! Thank goodness we can cook to pay them back!! Can't wait to see the finished desk!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny...I had my hubby build me a 9 foot desk that I painted white and skirted the bottom with burlap...to hide the ugly storage drawers...and I absolutely love it. Hope you'll share some pics of it when it's done.
ReplyDeleteThank you for thiis
