Last month in a post titled A Hidden Treasure, I shared pictures and a story of a desk that I found on the side of the road.
It was rather a purple monster of a piece of furniture (see pics below), sitting at the end of a driveway, with the word FREE on it. My weakness for things broken had me hauling home to my workshop garage. When it was unloaded, my dreams of making it a fresh and inspiring place to tap my fingers on the keyboard were making my mind explode.
In no time the blood, sweat and tears that I poured into that train wreck of a bad paint job, dust and rough edges began to produce the dream that was forming the moment I first set my eyes on it.
I was imagining a simple, clean and classic look … I love how it turned out!
Plus it is in the most sunny location of our house … a great bonus during monsoon season on the Pacific Wet West Coast.
I loved the character of the paneled sides and back … adding depth and architectural interest.
A place to sit and smile at some of my favorite faces …
And yes, that family picture is of every member on their cell phones …
if you can’t beat them …
… redeem them 😉
