This is our desk, or well, it was our desk after we sanded and primed it. It had been a dark espresso color but we were so excited to get started that we forgot before pictures!
Then we painted it and it turned out even more beautiful than we'd hoped!
We opted to line the drawer with a cool paper that the kids modge-podged in place and we sealed the top of the desk to protect it. Our last little upgrade has not happened yet because we haven't found the right piece but we all agreed that the handle on the drawer needs to be replaced with something, well, more bohemian! It was not difficult at all and my daughter found the whole process especially enjoyable. Since we were having so much fun and so much of our furniture is already old and or mismatched we opted to refinish a file cabinet too - again, we forgot the "before" picture so this will have to do for now:
The kids and I intend to replace the handles and we're going to use fabric or some cool paper for the drawers to make it look even cooler! The room is really coming together and the kids and I are very comfortable in our new digs.
We will keep adding new updates because we are doing a lot of pieces and working on ways to make the most of our limited space. Our situation continues to improve, it always will because I will keep working at it, keep moving forward - onward and upward!
