This summer this is how it all started. I picked it up at a Garage Sale . It was in nice cosmetic condition but the darn thing was not strong enough to endure being in a house w/ my 2 boys and I. Let's be honest, you know when a 5 yr. old says "mommy, can I play on Nick Jr.com that means that there will be leaning on the desk, bumping and who knows what else...But I saw it's potential and snagged it up anyways =)
It sat in the garage for a couple of months until I finally was motivated enough to start putting it back together. Something a little E6000 helped with.
After a couple of days of being glued and clamped it together I brought it in the house.
I was still not happy w/ anything about this area at all. It just spells CLUTTER. So, I tried to make it better
I think I might of slightly successed. I lub clocks. The tick tock is zen to my ears =) candles, vase to complete the area? I still didn't think so and had to make another final change (at least till after the holidays).
So, what do you think? any suggestions or tips?

I love it! The desk has a great shape and looks even better in black. I agree with you on the clutter, even if it looks pretty. If there's too much stuff, I can't take it!
I loved your comment, I am definitely the same way! Looking around my family room, the only thing new in here is maybe our curtains, lol! I can tell you when and where I got it and how much I paid for it, haha.
Have a great day, following you back. Thanks so much for visiting!
I love this desk! I recently painted a side table black and added glass knobs, now our furniture matches ;-)

I absolutely love this desk... I think it turned out nice, but sometimes a doubt my choice of black, but once it's done I lourve it.
Christine- Your Salvation Army side table looks great and the knobs are the perfect bling! =)
