I’ve been posting here and there about my home office redux (goodbye, dining room… I never liked you anyway), and I finally started the Big Project… painting the desk I picked out.
As she is with most of my Big Projects, my mom is instrumental in this home improvement project and she helped me lift the desk out of the warehouse and stood back taking pictures and judging me (she is my mom) as I worked.
Here is the desk before… I liked the color, but since I always have to make things hard for myself, I decided to paint it a light shade of pink.
In a departure from my usual (usually regrettable) impatience, I took the time to tape off all the fixtures. I really like the original silver handles on this desk!
Look at this sticker! He is staying.
Spiders were here. Those cleaning rags are getting burned.
Getting an even coat was much harder than I thought it would be.
I stopped to look at birds.
I stopped to shake the cans.
Started running out of paint…
…and just ran out of gas.
Good enough.

I painted a desk this same color of pink in college. I didn’t ask my landlord (it came with the room), I sanded it IN MY ROOM, and painted it in my room as well. Basically I did everything wrong.
But in the end it looked so much better that the landlord paid me for it!
Super cute! But only Princess Lasertron would spraypaint in heels and a cordoroy jacket! Weren’t you worried about getting the paint on your clothes!
@Mandy Sue: those are my play clothes…painting with spray paint isn’t THAT messy!!

Vendor: Flowers made of felt, vintage buttons and other ephemera
Website: Princess Lasertron
About Me: I started Princess Lasertron in 2005 creating custom bouquets out of
felt, vintage buttons, and other ephemera. I give each bride an
heirloom-quality piece that will bring a personal dimension to their
wedding and everyday lives. What I love most is meeting and
collaborating with unique women whose weddings are a true
representation of them and their partners. As for me...I live
nocturnally, I'm an INTP, I play Dungeons and Dragons every other
Saturday, and I'm a perpetual student.
Super cute desk refurbish!! Plus the paint on the jeans to show all the hard work!
