Desk cleanup





This has been a long weekend. I have been really fighting the winter blues . The walls really start to close in on my . So this weekends project was to work on the the desk in the corner of our kitchen. Thursday was spent taking everything off the desk and shelves and shopping for supplies. Friday my husband was home all day so we spent most of the day on this desk. We took off the mobile home strips primed,taped ,spackled then put on a spray texture and finally painted . We decided to take the railing off the shelves and put on a corner round. (Only three extra trips to the store -not bad for us.) Most of Saturday was spent organizing and tossing out stuff and putting it back on the shelves. We are pretty pleased so far with how it turned out. It needs a little personalization now but so much cleaner looking and less busy looking (vinyl wallpaper) .
This week I would like to take the magnet paint and paint the back of the cupboard . A great way to hide away alot of the notes and stuff .
I have had a curtain on the desk (to hide away the junk) ,I picked up one that I really like but not sure if it should be put up or not... the curtain will need to be cut off and shortened to fit right as well as the tassles that are way too long. ( now that it is clean is it needed--hmm)
