Happy Sunday!!!
I love me a good sunday afternoon.
Church.Relaxing.Family.Blogging.
Today I get to share with you one of my many projects I did this week.
This desk was for a new client friend.
I loved how she wanted to go bold, & wasn’t afraid of color.
She has amazing style, & dresses so cute.
I knew this would be a fun project.
She asked for a coral shabby chic desk, & this is
what I came up with…
Before:
After:
I love coral!
It’s seriously one of my favorite colors
{Tropical Coral by Glidden}
I must paint something in my house this color.
You can find this desk at Target.
After re-doing this desk, I feel as if I need it.
So much room for activities!!!
She is planning on pairing this lovely desk with
a cute white chair, how lovely will that be?
I would call this desk “Simple shabby chic”
I did not distress it too much, in fear with the shape & color
that too much would be overwhelming.
I’m in love. End of story.
I hope you love this california coral desk makeover.
It was sure hard to give it back to it’s owner.

Beautiful!!!
I wouldn't have thought to use that color on furniture, but it's perfect!
I love the color, great choice! I featured this today at Me Making Do.
What a beautiful color!
It's a terrific desk. Not a color that I'd gravitate towards if I were painting furniture, but it was a great choice for the space. I love the desk. I just bought a desk though. It's too soon for me to be looking at another.
GREAT color!! And I love it with the turquoise lamp!
Loving the desk AND the color! Coral is been my obsession this summer.
Visiting from Serenity Now
I love this desk!! And the fab color makes it even better! I saw it on Serenity Now's link party and was so not surprised when I clicked on it and saw it was yours. You do the best stuff! Congrats on all the followers too!
Great job! Love that color too!
I just found you from Miss Mustard Seeds blog. How could i resist clicking on an image of this to die for coral desk! It's wonderful. I pretty sure I have to have this color somewhere in my house now!
