The Kitchen Desk

Hey all!!

Yes, it’s the oak cabinets again, but this time they are decked out with a little burlap.

This is a built in desk in my kitchen that I actually never use for working purposes.  It’s just a great storage place.

I added a little burlap to the bottom to hide some of the school books and cookbooks that I have stored underneath.    Tension rods are wonderful for little areas like this.

Another piece of burlap at the top hides the cds that are stored in little compartments.


Underneath the cd storage, I covered cork board with old magazine pages.  I can use this area as a little message board for appointment cards.


Did you notice the chalkboard paint on the drawer?  That is actually a strip of contact paper that I painted with chalkboard paint and stuck on there.  Remember, the whole thing here is that I am not painting the cabinets,  via my husband’s wishes.

My little bistro chair was a Christmas gift from my sister from another mister, Becky.  Love it!


I am doing my best here to soften the look in my kitchen.  Trying hard, my friends, trying hard.  I will try to keep thinking of ideas and will let you know along the way.


***Mom update…Tomorrow, Wednesday, is  my mom’s last treatment!!!!!!!! (pretend like there are a million exclamation points there)  We are beyond thrilled.  Will let you know what happens from here.  Thanks for caring…truly…thank you!
