How is the time change treating you all?
I keep hearing rumors of people getting an extra hour of sleep last night...that only works when your kids internal clock doesn't automatically go off at the EXACT same time everyday, no matter what time they go to bed or if the time changes.
Maybe when they go to college I will be able to sleep in past 6:00 aka now 5:00.
A girl can dream can't she?
Now I want to show you what I worked on while not getting more sleep.
Remember this desk?
I love her lines!
I went the heirloom white route, got some black handles, and painted the top with chalkboard paint!
I LOVE her!
I think she could even be a little vanity.
Even the back is pretty!
Some herringbone never hurt anyone.
If you are like me and you can't find any paper...you can just write right on the desk!
I am posting to these parties.

Beautiful job. Great idea with the chalkboard paint. Found you at a link party.
What a great job... the desk looks amazing. I like your choice of hardware, too. Visiting from Stories of a House.

I might have to add the chalkboard paint to the top of my daughter's desk. I love this.

Love it love it love it!
This is amazing!!! I heart chalkboard paint and the drawers are amazing!
This is GENIUS! You are so talented. Never thought of this idea before, and now I can't believe I've never seen it done! Love it (:
Oh, this is such a great idea. It is making me think about where I'm going to do a chalkboard - on which piece of furniture!
BTW, I am SO in agreement about the extra hour of sleep! My kids are 11 and 6 1/2 and are waking up at the crack of dawn! Crazy!

I love it! The contrast between the white & the chalkboard paint is fabulous, and what an amazing way to make a desk more functional :)

I love her too. That turned out just beautiful.

How gorgeous is that! Love the chalkboard top. I want to do that with mine, now!
I love this desk! And the houndstooth adds great detail and character to the piece!
oh this is such a good idea! I want to make one of these!! If you have a chance come link up next week at Ladybug Blessings Handmade Tuesdays! www.ladybug-blessings.com
So cute! I have done this with a couple of desks, and I don't think I will ever get tired of it!
You gave me the greatest idea! Thank you! My daughter has a similar desk but I've painted the top white too. Of course she draws and writes on it, so it looks pretty shabby. that's the coolest thing, I will paint it black this weekend! She'll be able to draw and write over and over again! Ha! Merci!

This is so beautiful. I think I know what my first project will be after our move. Following you from Frugalicious Friday.http://diyhshp.blogspot.com/
Gorgeous! I love the black and white~and chalkboard paint! It looks great. The hounds tooth in the drawers is just the right finishing touch.
I've been wanting to do this to a little table that my daughter uses for coloring. This turned out beautiful and has motivated me to start on my table!
I love chalkboard paint projects. Once you open that little can of magic, it's highly addictive!
Such a fun idea! Thanks for sharing at the PoPP. I'm putting your desk in the Spotlight this weekend.
Ohhh.. nice choices! That's a great looking piece! The white against black is totally stunning. That will be a riot to draw on. :)

Thanks for inspiring my to get on making over my craft desk!
Great idea. My kids LOVE chalkboard paint. We've created two spaces, inside the pantry door and in a hallway. They are entertained there for hours and the best part is they play school and "teach" each other math, spelling, etc. GREAT STUFF! So many uses. On the sleep thing, it does get better. I have twins who are 22 months younger than my oldest. None were EVER sleepers or nappers. I spent years wondering when I would get some sleep, or, even better, have some time to myself in the early a.m. Didn't matter how early I got up, they were either already awake or trailed me by just a few minutes. At 11, 11 & 13 it's much better. In fact, at 8:41 a.m. CT, one is still sleeping. Enjoy, it goes fast.
I love this desk. I am wondering if you painted this with a brush? I will go back on your blog and see if you show how you did this desk. Anyway - the chalkboard idea is a great one!!
This is such a great desk! If only the feeling of chalkboards didn't make my skin crawl ;)
That desk looks so good. Love the new hardware. And chalkboard paint for the top! Genius!!!
I love this! What a fabulous idea! It turned out gorgeous!
You should come link this up to my weekly Thursday Making It With Allie Link Party! I think it would make a Fabulous addition!
