It has been raining and miserable today so I set Nik the challenge of sorting out his desk so we can build the new one tomorrow!! We eventually chose a different one to
those I posted before - Nik found us one in
Ikea that we both love. The best thing is, you can design your own from
the range so if you want more drawers or 2 cupboards or just legs, you can! We have chosen to have one set of drawers and one cupboard at each end...
So while he was sorting out his paperwork, I worked on the following little project with some old drawers and our grey testers! Of which we ended up with 9!!! Turns out that a lot of the pale greys we like were quite blueish in our back room. It only has a corner window so we have looked at them in daylight and at night with the lights on so we get a proper idea of what it might look like.

We're doing well with the de-cluttering and have already made a huge difference as you can see, we're slowly getting there...
So I carried on with my wee project using up some of the tester pots in the living room...

Old box drawers from Ikea - previously painted back in 2000 to go with my lilac bedroom
I did have a brown painted set from 2006 as well and have just re-done 2 for now.

We're really pleased with the result - a new lease of life.
I might do the 3rd set in a darker shade.
