My desk makeover....Chevron Pattern top!
After seeing this DIY on the Sunset Magazine website, I had to try it! My desktop was needing a face-lift so the minute I saw this Chevron pattern, I knew this was for me! It took a bit to get it all done, but well worth it! So, what do you think?? Would you like to try this on your desktop? If yes, go here for the instructions. For a 'before pic' of my desk, click here.
wow! that looks amazing. love the subtlety of the design.
ReplyDeleteLove it Jen! x

So fabulous! I bookmarked that sunset article too since I have so much furniture needing help. What a fun addition to your workspace!
ReplyDeleteIt looks sooo good! I loved that DIY from Sunset too and would love to try it out myself.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job!! Looks so fresh...;)
ReplyDeleteOh love this!
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing; we did stripes of different thicknesses on my son's walls and it took a lot of time. this looks amazing---you go girl.
ReplyDeletelooks like you might get some work done. :) inspirational!
ReplyDeleteit looks so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! I might have to try something like this with my desk too...
ReplyDeleteit looks great, dear! my desk is made of natural wood and it has a pretty vintage feel, but if that wasn't the case I would definitely try it out :)
ReplyDeleteLove it Jen!
ReplyDeleteUsually when I see chevrons I think of the military (or the gas station lol) but this is really feminine and compliments the overall aesthetic of the desk without overpowering it. Well done! I've got an old ugly wood desk (which was probably very nice at one point) and I've been thinking about redecorating it somehow, so I'll definitely check out this diy.
ReplyDeleteit really gives it such a great look! I think its fantastic!
