Sneak Peek: Office

My office went from nothing to something special in about 5 hours yesterday. Total dollars spent = $45, and 40 of that was for this behemoth...



I have to run off now to a furniture auction I just heard about called Dixon's in Crumpton, MD. It's supposed to be amazing. But please come back tomorrow for the full recap on my office face lift...

    The credenza looks stunning! Love the color. I will totally use the corkboard idea. It's a really fun way to dress up boring old corkboards! Thanks!

    Looking at your blog is soooo inspirational. I am addicted to trying all of your DIYs. You have such a keen sense of lasting style.I bought a buffet to repaint and set our tv on in our den. I have sanded, primed, painted, and now I am using poly wipe-on. My question is do I need to sand between poly coats?

    Hi! I am a new follower of your blog and I LOVE it! I do have a quick question about your spray grip used on your credenza though...I'm thinking about using one for some cabinets I need to paint. There are ALOT so I will not get them done in a day's work. Can you clean the spray grips?? If so..how? Thanks!!
