O Christmas Tree




O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
They are green when summer days are bright,
They are green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.
Your boughs so green in summertime
Stay bravely green in wintertime.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Forever true your colour.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
Reminding me on Christmas Day
To think of you and then be gay.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music

Silver & Gold


Silver & Gold 
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Ev'ryone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth?
Just by the pleasure it gives here on earth.

PB Inspired Desk Reveal

Hey y'all!  If you like this PB Inspired Desk, then you will love our Beach House Remodel.  Life is good!

Please visit our progress at  
House Envy* The Beach House
and let us know what you think. 
 
 

The Pottery Barn Teen Chelsea desk. 
Love it! 
The $1000 price tag---not so much.

After browsing through the furniture finds on Craigslist one day, I found this solid maple desk with similar lines and bought it for a cool 30 bucks.  Not bad, right?




I sanded the entire desk using a 120 grit sandpaper and then applied a spray primer.  After allowing this to dry for 24 hrs, I began applying my paint using a sponge roller.  I chose a Behr color in a satin finish for this project called Pillar White. 
I love the grayish undertones and way it reflects the light.  After several thin layers had been applied and dried, I gave this guy a nice coat of clear (non-yellowing) poly. 


Here is the finished result!



 (yes, the pictures on the wall look crooked.) 



 I replaced the old hardware with fresh new pulls and knobs in an
Oil Rubbed Bronze finish. 










...and what desk makeover would be complete without the
"before and after" shot! 













 Thank you for checking it out!
