Vanity Desk

I often have hair brained ideas. 

Some of them my husband rolls his eyes

and shakes his head at

and others he's the one encouraging my madness. 

This one was a little of both. 

One of the kiddos was in desperate need

of a little room makeover. 

It was brown and I really

couldn't stand looking at it much longer and neither

could she.

 

 It has been a

a long process of painting different pieces of furniture.

Ripping out carpet and painting a floor,

which I will show off later. 

Now, I thought I would show off

her vanity/computer desk.

 

We bought some premade cabinets at the local home improvement store. 

My hubby and I spent the whole day priming and

painting the different components of her new desk. 

Yes, we painted oak cabinets. 

I think my husband shed a tear as the paint was being brushed on.

The pink is Valspar Frosty Berry and

we did the old-fashioned brush it all on.

I wanted it to look very girlie so we added

furniture legs to the front. 

They are mostly just for show, but

sometimes it is all about the details.

 



Every vanity needs a mirror! 

Someone gave us the mirror but it was gold. 

It now wears Frosty Berry oh so well.

 



 

It turned out even better than I had planned. 

I can't wait to show you the whole floor finished.
