DIY Desk


I haven't been able to stop obsessing over this gorgeous orange desk spotted over at Full House. It reminds me of one I sold at my yard sale last summer and was so sad to part with.

I think these days I'm kind of in need of an orange colored desk in my life.

It quickly occurred to me that the lovely piece above could be recreated with a few easily accessible items:

This classic piece from the country living collection at Kmart or a craigslist find

A few cans of Krylon pimento spray paint

and some ring pulls.

Done and done. Let me know how it turns out.

p.s. wouldn't this look amazing with one of my zebra chairs?

  2. This is the exact paint color I used to redo the chairs in my family room--you saw them yesterday. Bold, fun color! ~Jen W.

  3. Thanks for a great post! I am now also inspired to do a DIY desk...maybe for my daughter's room! I'm with you on orange right now. There is something about the blah of winter makes me crave the bright energy colors like orange and lime green...just wrote about orange on Tuesday if you want to check it out. :)

  4. Okay, now you've got me obsessing over the desk & paint color... Normally I'm not one who would gravitate towards the pimento color tone but I can seriously envision it in my home. Thanks for sharing & enjoy your week!
