My little project

I love to go to the DI. Some may find this funny but I just love to see what I can find there. I often have to remind my self while I am there that I don't need to fill my house with junk. But the other day while I was looking for something else I walked by this little desk.



I stopped, I looked at it and thought it was cute but told myself to walk on. Later that night I talked Greg into coming back to the DI with me to see if the little desk I now wanted was still there. It seems as though our laptop had found a home on our kitchen table and it was getting annoying moving it every night for dinner. I decided that this little desk would solve the laptop table problem. I think Greg secretly hoped the desk would be gone when we got there (He is not always fond of my DI treasures) but to my excitement it was still there. Greg couldn't refuse my little project and at $20 who could. Greg did make me promise right there in the DI isle that I would have it painted and done in 1 week. Greg seems to think I have a small problem with not finishing my projects. (I am not saying he is always wrong on this one) I promised, and we brought home the desk. And in less than a week we now have this cute little piece of furniture, a perfect home for our laptop.




Though the desk is technically done, I am not sure I love the drawers stained. But I figured it was easier to paint over stain, then paint. So sometime in the future I may paint the drawers white also. But for the sake of the 1 week deadline the desk is done. (my main reason for doing this post is to document to Greg that I do finish projects)
