Desk Makeover!!!


I've been pretty quiet on Social Media lately because I've been sucked into a desk makeover project. I started it, then got sidelined by a cabinet refinishing project. I finally wrapped it up today.


I'm one of those lucky people who gets to work from home. Because of this, my home workspace is important. I have health issues so ergonomic comfort is important. My desk chair still needs to be addressed, but I had a sit-stand desk (purchased about 5 years ago) that didn't fit with the french country look I was going for. This is the before picture. I bought the sit-stand desk frame and bought a board from Home Depot, stained it, and screwed it on. So it was a plain old board. Let me step through how I went from that, to the final.

Craaazy Mannequin Decoupage Project




This is an exciting day! Not quite as exciting as  Mueller indictment, but still . . . It's pretty up there. Today is exciting in the way you remember anticipating a fun sixth grade art project coming up later in the day. Probably even more exciting than that.

Today is the day I start decoupaging my mannequin!!!

Why am I decoupaging a mannequin, you ask? It is a logical question. Well, clearly, it is because I need a place to put my headset when I'm not using it. What? That isn't clear? Well . . I did say it was a craaaaazy project!
