New Desk and Chair....

For Miss “Thing” to do her make-up and hair!  About (2) months ago we made a trip to Story and Lee, a furniture store out in the MIDDLE of nowhere Pulaski TN.  It reminded us of our beloved Feagan’s, which we use to frequent while living in TN and that was located in Ferdonia KY.  Story and Lee is about the same distance for us to drive, but the upside is they offer free delivery and lower sales tax can you say woo hoo!

Our daughter has this niche in her bathroom, well actually it use to be a laundry area, don’t get me started it was one of (3) in this house.  I like doing laundry (strange I know) but that is a bit many even for me…but I digress. 

We (insert Brother-in-law and husband here) capped off the plumbing and electrical and put up new drywall and paint to make it function.  B removed the sliding doors and hung her silver beaded chandelier from her room in TN.  We decided to make it into a dressing area (with plans of renovating it to a functional space many years and dollars later hee hee!)

So, while at Story and Lee, we settled upon a black writing desk because it was the right height and was made by a solid manufacturer.  We custom ordered a slipper chair with a black and white daisy print with dots of yellow (which she picked out) to bring a splash of color to the niche. 

We got a call on Monday that it was finally in and would be delivered today…and here it is!

So now we have to purchase a rug to go underneath.  We agreed on the style shag, but we still have to agree on the color yellow or black and white.  The next task will be to have Mom make some custom curtains to frame the area, and a matching valence for the window. 

Then, I plan to call Armando (the guy who did our outside columns) to get him to pull up the iridescent tiles and place black to clear glass tiles in their place.  I have an idea for creating a glass border around her mirror to frame it in, but I am still researching that option.

In the meantime it is a step in the right direction and everything is so expensive even the little ‘do it yourself’ fixes, remember the 100+ dollars for new drawer pulls – plz!

So stay tuned as this is definitely a work in progress.  It is fun to watch it transform in front of our eyes!  Now, if I only had a magic wand for the rest of the house!
