Hi Everyone!!!
Its been a while since I have done a post on our Nashville house! As you all know, we are currently renting, and have been on journey since December, to make this house our Home while we spend time in it! The one area that I have finally started to focus on is my desk area! Now that I have paying clients, and a schedule and NEED to have an organized space, it was time to jump in. The desk area I have is a built in, and it was one of two places our landlords asked us not to paint ( DRATS). Its completely constructed out of reddish tone knotty pine, and its really dark and heavy. The exact OPPOSITE atmosphere I want as an Interior Designer. So I am trying to brighten and lighten!!
I had an old target lamp with a plain vanilla lamp shade, and on a whim today, I decided to try my hand at Painterly. Why not… I figured it would either turn out and I would have some color, OR it would Suck and I would have to buy another $5 lamp shade…I was willing to take a small risk ;)! I got out the paints and started at it. The whole point of “Painterly” is to be able to SEE the brush strokes…Take a look at how this project went from a messy MESS to a lamp I am kind of Digging!
This is just the beginning of the desk area uplift…I added contact paper to the back ( you can kind of see it) but I’m still working on it! Ps..as I was just writing this, my husband came in and pointed at this lampshade
( the actual lampshade) and laughed and said, What the heck is that! LOL hmmm..We will have to see how this space progresses!!!

Very cool Kim!
Kim! I love it!!
