Desk Makeover and a New Rug

This past summer I got this great executive desk from a company selling some furniture pieces.   It was just an oak desk & I planned on painting it. It took me some time to actually tackle the job, but since my goal is to be finished with my craft room, I finally whipped out the old paint brush {not really, I bought new black paint & I used a roller}  and it makes such a difference in my craft room!

I LOVE it!

This is what it looked like before:

I like the NEW desk much better, don't you?

and speaking of

new

. . .

 . . .this gorgeous rug is new too.  A few months back, I designed a logo for a church. I was so excited to have a little extra cash and decided that I would spoil myself with a rug for this room.  I've been dreaming of a new rug for like FOREVER! Maybe 70 years or so...  ;) {totally kidding... I'm not that old.} I was thrilled when I saw this baby at Costco.  It's a 7.5ft. x 10ft. Indoor/Outdoor Rug at a GREAT price! Isn't it pretty?

Check out the before & after side by sides of this desk re-do:

I actually started painting the desk an off white color, changed my mind in the middle of it and chose to go with black instead, so I started over. Paint is so great like that! if you don't like it, you can simply paint over it. I used Farmhouse Paint.

I'm excited about my desk, excited about the fact that my craft room is almost complete & excited to share with you, the best blogging friends ever, my completed craft room. So stay tuned, the reveal is soon to come.
