Re-Do's

Remember this:

We bought this desk for $200 at a garage sale...and these?:  

8 foot bookshelves for $25???  Umm, I'll take two please - same garage sale:)

We finally finished them and here's what they look like now:)

The desk - this thing is HUGE, my computer looks like a toy on it now - ha ha!  We sanded and stained, sanded and stained, until it was just how we wanted it!

and the bookshelves...honeslty - we just spray painted these - dontcha just Loooove what a little spray paint can do?  I am loving arranging and re-arranging these, can't wait to buy something pretty to put on top of both!  What do you suggest?

In the meantime, it's been fun putting my little do-dads all around:)

and rearranging books like this...
