Pretty in Pink

As I mentioned previously, I am in the process of painting all of the furniture in my home office. I began with a variety of mismatched pieces that I had collected over the years and instead of throwing them out and buying all new furniture, I've decided to give them a second life with a little paint. I wanted to paint my desk a bright pink that would make it an inviting place to work, and settled on 'Valentine Pink' by CIL. Here are some photos from around the web that inspired me.







Before: Mismatched furniture and a cluttered workspace.







The result was a bright and cheery workspace that I will actually work at instead of moving my computer out into the living room. Next up: black painted bookshelves and dresser.
