The New Desk {After}

I showed you the "before" photos of our new antique desk a couple weeks ago, and this week I'll show you the "after" photos. Last week, I finally got around to styling the desk. J is using the desk in the Nest as his home office.


The rear wall of the top section is covered in a faux bois paper. It certainly cleans up the piece, and it adds a modern, yet classic feel.



Accessories fill the shelving unit. I love using vintage leather bound books and of course sea shells.








A trophy cup is used for pens and pencils, and an Alexa Pulitzer King Gator mousepad helps with functionality.






A ghost chair fits perfectly with its timeless feel.

    Ron,
    It looks like such a cozy work space! I love the desk, of course, and the addition of the paper really takes it up a notch. I adore how you have so many careful curated accessories and love the abundance of prints on the walls. Love, love, love.

    Well done Ron! I enjoyed seeing each item you selected for the inside. I like the pictures layered around it too- personalizes it nicely! The mouse pad is the bomb!

    Beautiful piece, beautifully styled. Your seashell pieces are gorgeous! I like doing projects with shells, so I am saving a couple of your photos for inspiration.

    It looks amazing. I love that each item placed inside holds meaning or speaks of those in the home. Well done!!
