We had a great weekend. My parents came to visit from Tennessee and love on sweet Ashlyn and Chase. And Christopher and I finished my closet vanity. Remember this?
Here is the desk that we used.
So glad this is finally finished - and just in time for me to start back to work in 8 days. Since I will actually have to fix my hair, put on makeup and wear something on other than running shorts and tank tops. Typing this made me realize how sad I am to only have one more week of maternity leave. I have really enjoyed the past couple of months being home with my babies. It is so hard to think about going back to work right now. So let's just move on to some pictures before I get teary eyed.
I guess this was several little projects in one. I found the lamp on clearance at Target for $8 and just recovered the shade with fabric I had. We spray painted the mirror frame white and added some ribbon around the middle. The makeup board is a piece of $4 sheet metal from Home Depot covered in fabric.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

If you don't mind me asking, what color paint did you use for the desk?
I mixed some colors together to make this but it ended up being close to sage gray by behr http://m.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-Plus-Ultra-8-oz-710F-4-Sage-Gray-Interior-Exterior-Paint-Sample/202182788/
