Because (I Think) I Can

To remind you, this was the cheap Wal-Mart Desk “before” picture, waiting for its makeover,

The desk Before

And this was the Hutch “before”, an awesome Craigslist buy for only $25.  I had been searching for some time for a hutch that would fit perfectly in this spot, so was thrilled of course, to find this one…  Obviously though, this look would not do…

The Hutch Before

And the Reveal!  (Here is where I wish I had some photography skills.  Really, I am so bad at it… but here you are, shadows, blurs, reflections and all) – I hope you “get the picture”!

Done!

I can see in the picture above, what I need now is a fantastic wooden chair, painted green.   Hmmm, Craigslist here I come!

Woops, I still need to fix the latch on the right door.

my tea collection

I collect tea.  I get a kick out of all the types, flavors, smells, accessories… I don’t drink much tea, I love everything else about it!

look familiar??

When My hutch was finished, I found this hutch at another Canadian blogger, Recaptured Charm.  She does Beautiful work!  Although I LOVE the way she finished her hutch, I’m happy with the way my version suits our space… however, I will be following her for more inspiration!

Again…

Before

After!

Because this post isn’t long enough, and because I have freakin’ cute kids, I just have to show them off a little:

4 months old!

Proud Big Brother

Cute!

Thanks for reading!

I’m partying here!
