perfectly {imperfect}

Love at first sight...

Some would look at this table 

and see junk...

I saw it as a desk 

positioned perfectly 

in the center of a cozy  little office

{for me!}

with a white and burlap french chair 

pulled up to it, ready for business.

hmmm...

One wall, a black chalkboard,

and the other walls washed in an aged 

gray and taupe chippy patina...

The back wall would house the vintage hutch

that I've admired for years at my sister's house.

{that she asked if I wanted since she was moving}

yay!

After the hutch's treatment of a color change,

{it's red, like but not love}

it will hold books and 'ingredients' 

for further inspiration.

Burlap curtains to shield unsightly supplies

on the existing shelves,

a warm fuzzy rug,

{I have the perfect one in storage!}

and to top it all off,

a chandelier.

{sigh}

Can't wait!

I am surprised at my own giddiness over 

this little project and have realized...

I've never had

 my own room.

Except for the nursery at the hospital...

likely not even then.

{It was a very, very small town}

This adorable table was just collecting dust

over in the quiet corner 

of an abandoned little shack

on my father's farm.

Instant {imperfectly} perfect inspiration.

Usually, when I do projects like this

I just dive in and get it done.

Then think 

"I should have taken before pictures."

This time I am.

I'll post them when I'm finished.

I'll be back.

Hope you can 

get out and enjoy 

this beautiful time of year!
