Coming out of the closet, the second time around!
Pardon my absence the last few days out here in blog land.
I have been on a mission to clean out some closets. I have a LARGE donation waiting at the door if anyone is interested!
Actually someone is coming on Wednesday and I am happy to help.
So while I was at it, I decided to revamp our little TV room office....
You may recall this from long ago...
Desk was originally Oak, then I painted it black...
Today I hauled it out of there...
I mixed Old white and Provence blue Annie Sloan Chalk paint, to create a lighter shade of blue...
I added these knobs that I removed from a nightstand that I now put in the closet.
What would a Debbiedoo's project be without a little stenciling?
This shot I used the flash, as this room gets little light, and I wanted you to be able to see the color...
I heavily distressed it, so not only the black peeked through, so did the original Oak..
I like it!
Now we can look out the window instead of a wall.
And did I mention, I have two CLEAN closets! YAY!!~
Mom you actually will have room in the guestroom closet for all your clothes and more!

Love the color and distressing of the desk!
Great makeover of the desk. I have the same handles in green. I also have spent the last 2 days making a new desk and organizing my office. Great minds think alike. LOL
Love the paint and stenciling and it looks great in front of the window.
you just never stop! Just like the energizer bunny, looks great,,I like it better than black,,
Yay for clean closets and I love the desk and it's placement now!
What a difference! And OH...I'm so jealous of your clean-out closets.
That looks great. The color on the desk looks awesome. Love when I can clean out closets. It always makes me feel so organized.
Never thought about a desk in a cloet but love the changes & paint redo.

Really cute- I love it when the layers of paint show through! And clean closets-something I need to work on! xo Diana
Oh it looks great! The color is wonderful.
I love the way the colors turned out, Debbie!! You did a great job on the stencils, too!
XO,

Just perfect. Never throw away tables or chairs, you can never have enough! Great redo on this little babe.
Looks great, Debbie, and I know it must feel good having your closets organized. Putting things in order is like therapy for me!
I love a desk in front of a window. It makes you feel so much a part of a beautiful day and the great outdoors.
Love it! You must live in your paint clothes! I'm hoping to get a couple of projects actually finished now that school is finally starting. Thanks for sharing.
I need some inspiration these days, as I have too much stuff! Thanks for the "kick."
I'm loving the new look of the desk, much more better and the new view! Priceless!
I like how you redo things and use them again in a great way. love that stencil..
That looks beautiful!! Jemma went back to school today so I am going into the closets too! Ha! I go in the closets and you are coming out!! I crack myself up! That desk is fantastic!
Love the way you repainted the desk. It looks fabulous!! I think I am the only one who hasn't used the Chalk Paint. I need to find something to try it out on soon. I am inspired by all the great projects I have seen! :-)
That turned out really nice, Debbie...Christine
yay for clean closets!
Love the table makeover, especially those sweet little knobs you added.
It looks just perfect in front of the window.
Hugs,
Patti

Lovely makeover ~ love the stencil:) I am cleaning out closets this week too - something about fall and back to school makes my organizing issues go into full gear!
~Kim
It looks great Debbie! I love the paint, love the stencil and love the idea of having clean closets! :)
Great transformation!
Pam
ps i love the knobs too:)
Wow, very cool Debbie, just love those knobs too...I've been on a break too, but mine is packing up stuff to take home from the farmhouse and I only have 3 days left...taking most everything home since we only spend 2 weeks a year here..leaving all the roosters though!
What a nice makeover with such cute little knobs! And congrats on clean closets--something I don't have.
Your title is catchy and you may get some extra traffic from it! A couple of weeks ago when I did a post of porch swings I entitle it "Swinging". Then I started to notice a referrel site showing up that I didn't recognize. It was an "alternative lifestyle" site!!
Which reminds me, my little geckos multiply like crazy & I have pictures of them (call me a voyeur)and they are so cute. I've thought about posting them with a title that included X-Rated pictures. Maybe that would be asking for it. (Sometimes I digress!)
I love how the desk turned out...much better location too! I am tackling some closets this week too. Have a great day!

The new color on the desk looks fabulous Debbie! You did a great job on it. Love it in front of the window!

I have a closet that needs cleaning out. Sadly, I've been saying that all summer. I'm thinking now that maybe it's a better cold weather project!!
I love the shade you created with the AS paint. I have got to get some! I'm waiting on the Pure White to come out. I'm not sure how different it will be from the old white. Does the Old White have a lot of yellow in it?
It looks awesome.
Debbie,
Ditto on all the great comments about the desk re-do! The color turned out great and the desk in front of the window makes a nice vignette in the room.
I'm very drawn to the fabric in the drapes that now frames the desk. Did you make the drapes? If so, do you recall the name of the fabric / where purchased? If you purchased the drapes, details if you recall.
Thanks

I might sound like a broken record, but Debbie, you're amazing at whatever you do. You should have your own TV show at HGTV!
I love the new look of your desk.
This looks fabulous! What a wonderful transformation!
The desk looks great, don't you just love reworking things that you already have! And 2 clean closets! I wish I had one clean closet! LOL
Debbie
Lovely ideas for my home. Love it, thanks for sharing
I absolutely LOVE what you did to the writing desk. It's wonderful. I like it just as much that you cleaned two closets. I'm all about the closet purge!
