I stole it from Him!

When My husband was studying for the bar he NEEDED a desk so he could study from home, so we bought this console table and it worked perfect for him, but I was counting down the days till I could take it and use it as my own. Well He was gone at work and so I just did it...
(After texting him for permission,of course... and I take a no response as a yes , so it was a go)
I gave it a million coats and added some glass knobs that I got at anthropology and there we go...cute as can be. I think I would like to get something different to go under it, but am not sure what yet. Any ideas??

I LOVE my White Board

A few weeks ago I bought a really nasty oil painting in a really dirty but awesome frame for $9.99 at Savers. Seriously though the frame was covered in layers and layers of something very similar to poop and dirt mixed together, with a few chicken feathers glued to it. Yum Huh!! After wanting to barf, I scarped some of it off, sanded some more off then finally gave up and just sprayed a good layer of KILZ on it, which my husband swore would block any junk from seeping through. Then painted it and then sanded the edges for that nice worn look.
I bought a HUGE piece of dry erase board at Lowes, they cut it to fit in the frame and ViOla! I am in love with it, I think it looks so great on that brownish color wall. If only my hand writing was a little nicer... I am using it as a calender for the week, and also for a daily check-list.
Do you like it as much as I do?
