I keep a hard cold , running list in my crazy little head. That list is constantly in my head : what I actually have vs. what I need. Some days it is quite maddening (if I let it be). To me that list keeps me focused when I have about 15 seconds to run in a Goodwill or need to recall what I have packed up in the garage so I don’t duplicate it. In that list in my head are the staples that I work hard had to stock my shop with.
The desk is near, if not at the top .
This particular style of desk is what I refer to as a Halfer. I avoided them like the plaque. Seriously. Then I got desperate and dragged one home and refinished it. It flew outa my shop like it had wings on it.
Live and learn…..
This gorgeous green is from The Chippy Barn.
It’s is called Ever After.
The pulls I have had for years. There used to be this amazing vintage and antique hardware place on Orange Blossom Trail in Florida where I’d order pulls from now and then. Right before they closed for good I ordered everything I could afford. These are all I have left. I’m glad I finally found a piece to use them with,
The drawers are big and deep on this one, nice storage for a smaller desk.
For the drawers I used a black and white peel and stick wall paper I found on Amazon. It was one of the easiest papers I’ve used yet in terms of lining these drawer. I will include an affiliated link to it here in the post. This means that we make a small commission from your purchase while your cost stays the same.
The maple top was sanded down and restrained using Minwax Jacobean and sealed with 3 coats of Minwax poly. It was kinda hard to pick that stain color. I wanted to compliment that beautiful green!
Have a good week ya’ll!

Beautiful green, Paige!! Love the dark stained top with the green. And the drawer pulls are fabulous!! Another great job! If only I lived closer to your shop. I could get into serious trouble there I’m afraid. Have a great week.
Sheryl I am obsessed with this color and the paint line all together. Is really good paint and the colors are amazing. Thank you so much! I just wish we had them locally. I’ve been getting g the through Etsy and the shipping times are driving me up a wall
It looks amazing! I love the top’s color. It enhances the wood beautifully. Awesome project, Paige!
