New to the DIY Scene

So as the title states, I'm new to this...I forgot the "before" picture. Whoops!

Here's the finished product!

Ok ok, its still not *completely* assembled, (meaning the drawer has not been put back in place b/c I can't carry the desk up my stairs) but they give you a good idea of what it turned out like. :)

So this is after 1 can (and basically one coat) of Rustoleum's "Summer Squash."

The drawer pull was old brass that I thought would clash with the yellow I chose, so I picked out a "Granite" for that little piece.

"What's next?" you ask... well, the inspiration for the color and more DIY from little old me, finally getting to decorate MY way. :) And I couldn't be happier!

Wow, it has been a whiiiiiile...

This all seems very strange to be writing a new blog after so long...but I'm ready to get back to it, or technically start.

The reason I am choosing today to start up again is...I GOT A NEW COMPUTER! So that, ladies (and gentlemen) is why. Plus I just *had* to get a new desk to go with it. And that's the real reason...a new desk = a new project.

I found a great wood desk on CL for $30, thanks to someone not paying their rent on storage, I have a fun time ahead of me. Its not in bad shape, and everything works great. I cannot change out the hardware on the drawer, which is fine, I'll just make it prettier. :) SO! After doing some googling and finding this, I have decided to give it a whirl and paint the desk.

Pics to come later, hopefully it turns out amazing!!
