The other day I posted about painting the Thomasville desk I purchased for $149 at Faith Farm.
- Desk before
I loved the way it looks now. It makes me happy just to look at it!
- Desk – After
My only worry was that it was so much prettier than the room was. Before last week, the office was very much a hodge-podge of old shelves…
- Messy shelves
still unfinished furniture pieces and lamps…
- My $29 dollar chest of drawers – awesome storage space!
a brown and cream multi-colored rug…
- Gracie loves to be exactly where she shouldn’t be
and LOTS of clutter from all my sewing/art/photography supplies.
- In an effort to clean up, everything is chucked in the closet! Yeah, I’ll clean it soon
Since I don’t want to spend any money this month, I had to use what I had in the house and make it work. We had this little filing cabinet/drawer in the office.
Can you guess what I did with it? Yep, I spray painted it!
Two coats of glossy black and changed the knobs to match the desk. Much better.
Then I changed to rug too.
- Elvis doesn’t want to be left out of this post…
And now, this is what one side of the room looks like.
As for the rest of the room, I need to get the shelves put into the closet and to paint the dresser. I don’t know what color to paint it though. I think another piece of black furniture would be too much. What if I used the Newburg Green from the closet? Or white? What do you think?
Thanks for reading!

WOW!! Love what you did:) Fantastic!! Thanks,Deidre~
Thank you!
Office looks great now. Love the side piece you did to match the desk. Where’d you get the rug. Looks great!
Thanks! I got the rug at Ikea.
Nice work on that desk! It’s gorgeous!
Thank you! It makes me feel like a grown up when I sit at it
Sister, you get more done on this blog than I have in the past three months. I’m exhausted by your brilliance
.
Love the desk! Love the little filing cabinet! Love the rug. Can’t wait to see what you do next!
Thank you! I think it’s because my brain doesn’t allow my body to just rest. It never stops! I have a pile of projects to get to, yet I keep acquiring every cool old piece of furniture I see because I am certain I will be able to make it a-maz-ing! Unfortunately, I am running out of room in my house! I’m going to have to open a shop or something to get rid of all the stuff I makeover! Oh, the husband will not be amused
I love it!!! I need to “redo” the cluttered, catch-all guest bedroom upstairs. It’s going to be my new creative officespace, soon I hope! I say go for the green if you haven’t already painted the dresser!
Have a delicious day,
Sara Dunning
Thanks! I am leaning towards painting it green too! I am hoping to figure out my paint sprayer, and use that for it because I don’t want any brush strokes. The paint machine has me intimidated, so it may take a little bit. Thanks!
