California Coral...

Happy Sunday!!!
I love me a good sunday afternoon.
Church.Relaxing.Family.Blogging.
Today I get to share with you one of my many projects I did this week.
This desk was for a new client friend.
I loved how she wanted to go bold, & wasn't afraid of color.
She has amazing style, & dresses so cute. 
I knew this would be a fun project.
She asked for a coral shabby chic desk, & this is 
what I came up with...



Before:

                                
After:


I love coral!
It's seriously one of my favorite colors
{Tropical Coral by Glidden}
I must paint something in my house this color. 


You can find this desk at Target
After re-doing this desk, I feel as if I need it. 
So much room for activities!!!


She is planning on pairing this lovely desk with
a cute white chair, how lovely will that be?


I would call this desk "Simple shabby chic"
I did not distress it too much, in fear with the shape & color 
that too much would be overwhelming.


I'm in love. End of story.
I hope you love this california coral desk makeover. 
It was sure hard to give it back to it's owner.
