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!

Coming oUt of the CloSet

I have a very unique and special giveaway you really do not want to miss out on....please check it out HERE

You must see it to believe it! Please check out this office closet post first:)

Let me start off by asking the question....can I use more closet space? You bet I can. I am overwhelmed with pillows and decor, that I change out per season. However, my boys could use this space more than I can and it is important to have a nice little quiet work space to call their own. So what I decided to do last year sometime was make their TV room closet into an office. For the past year they have neglected it, and banged up the desk. They really where not using it, because I did not have it set up properly, you live and learn after 1,000 projects. I decided first I would paint their desk. I love this paint/stain, it actually has the polyurethane in it so it saved that step for me.

This is the BEFORE...notta good working space, and really what was I thinking with the stupid rug for a mat, and flowers...geezzz...

I made this with Jack the other night, baby clothes pins glued together, he just thought this was so cute

This was a super easy slip cover, I used a pillow case, and ironed on the letters. The pretty teal colored frame came from Walmart and I bought the poster at hobby lobby for $6.00. I loved the colors and the verse on it.

As you can see I also distressed the edges of the desk with sandpaper, I know they will be nicking the desk so I thought I would make it look a little rugged
