We got to talking about colors for her home, prints, schemes and all that design "stuff", which got me thinking about the idea of introducing one colorful upholstered piece into a room.

Well in this case, not all the desks are "little", I decided to go with the title anyways. I'm currently eyeing black desks.

Look out for vintage desks at flea markets and on the side of the road. A few cans of high gloss paint, work wonders for tired furniture!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyaBjNEQ6ZRmTkmwSYPj51KXJTXryVELUlvRFPg_ss7HxonxsFxMXvKW3PfL27XyN0FOdGvp6rnwQxJJHCwBGIWIJznZvWYByGufKtII8nZfg1j_WI3FjBLZeWdi3zZvrSXXY9MlJPUCc/s1600/86623992802593119_iGgwdg3E_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyaBjNEQ6ZRmTkmwSYPj51KXJTXryVELUlvRFPg_ss7HxonxsFxMXvKW3PfL27XyN0FOdGvp6rnwQxJJHCwBGIWIJznZvWYByGufKtII8nZfg1j_WI3FjBLZeWdi3zZvrSXXY9MlJPUCc/s1600/86623992802593119_iGgwdg3E_c.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9WppihEF-_9NtmVNHIg3rS09eFQJtCZGHyapBwe5IKoe9ne1fWsycP6jfRB8KHsxaamODSWSZ1mUKOhjSFhCZYymXnALhE7LfuUDGvLW73QN728XKEUJOFY7BBpnhzf3jVkPdaWZAp0/s1600/83812fde77c7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9WppihEF-_9NtmVNHIg3rS09eFQJtCZGHyapBwe5IKoe9ne1fWsycP6jfRB8KHsxaamODSWSZ1mUKOhjSFhCZYymXnALhE7LfuUDGvLW73QN728XKEUJOFY7BBpnhzf3jVkPdaWZAp0/s1600/83812fde77c7.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09uCNMPgZez0XM_yvBt04y7ZCor9NLzBFGZdNwt6HnSMIE1fyB4uPf3g1IJRexYg_h9dSJXPUFzZpI0L4qOgc234thZcIO0hC6X-iwpL9MZBJBYukxaXnU-No2oeXva-pM2Z4N6rZZXQ/s1600/263953228131645264_wt5FVVZF_c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg09uCNMPgZez0XM_yvBt04y7ZCor9NLzBFGZdNwt6HnSMIE1fyB4uPf3g1IJRexYg_h9dSJXPUFzZpI0L4qOgc234thZcIO0hC6X-iwpL9MZBJBYukxaXnU-No2oeXva-pM2Z4N6rZZXQ/s1600/263953228131645264_wt5FVVZF_c.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I've had my eye on this little Regency, bamboo number ever since spying it in Lonny in 2010 (Christina Murphy Designs - image two).

A couple of weeks ago I <a href="http://www.shelterinteriordesign.blogspot.com/2012/10/giving-back.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">posted</span></a> about an event I took part in to raise money and awareness of the furniture bank for the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.mahomeless.org/">Mass Coalition for the homeless</a>. </span>Well I'm happy to say it was a great success, we raised $6,000 for the cause and had a great time doing so. My good friend and fellow blogger Danika Herrick of <a href="http://www.gorgeousshinythings.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Gorgeous Shiny Things</span></a> set up an entire room.
