Drab to Dazzling!


I bought this little desk years ago before I was married.
It was back from my bachelorette days and while I have
a sentimental attachment to it, it just didn't wow me.
So ...



Out came the white paint and a few accessories
and now to me it is dazzling!



It's a great little spot to check on household accounts
and some correspondence too.
This darling book of dog cartoons was given to me as a
birthday gift several years ago by my friend Cherie. She's
a big dog lover too.



It's the perfect companion to a desk filled with dog figurines.

Please join me and visit ~

Who is that dog in the little picture frame? Well Bentley,
that is my very first Yorkie named Bitterman. One day
I will tell the story of how Bitterman charmed the security
guard at the Denver airport.

Love,
Susan and Bentley

    Your little dog accessories are precious, but Bentley is still my favorite :)

    What a cute little desk. It reminds me so of Mary's, in her apartment. Remember that little curio type cabinet above the desk on the wall, where she kept her stamps???
