Hello, hello! I'm back!

As you -my 3 blog readers- already know, I've been busy this year, the whole wedding thing and moving to another house has been crazy!

It's been a whole year since my last post :( I'm awful... and the truth is that I've had so many projects at home and I really want to share them all so I'm trying to give some life to this thing again hehe...

A couple of years ago I posted about color gold not being my cup of tea but that I was beginning to like it a lot so... I started adding touches of gold to my wardrobe mostly (I always start there...) and it kind of exploded from there so now it looks like a gold-hobbit has puked all over my house, my desk and my life, I just can't stop it!!!

So... this post is not really about a home project but rather an office one; as you already know, desks where I work (most of you work here too so.... you know what I'm talking about) are hideous! and for a long time I just tried to live with mine, just kept it clean and uncluttered, but I just got tired of it and I've looked at sooo many home-office pins for inspiration and I'm frustrated they get to have the nice clean white-on-white look with their pretty desks... I just did what I could with mine, here's the "final" (I bet I'm gonna change something in the near future haha) look:



Bear with me on the calligraphy haha I'm practicing on my phone to see what I can do... I'll get better I promise.

What's on it?

- A very pretty Lucite tray ♥ that I made following the instructions on this blog; got everything I needed (2 things :P) on Michaels.
- Nate Berkus Stapler (yaaay!)
- A very tiny Cactaceae in a huge Ikea plant potter, I'm still figuring this out...
- A pencil holder thingy that was black and I just spray painted it using Metallic Gold Rust-Oleum.
- SÄRSKILD Notepad from Ikea
- My lovely Tour Eiffel... I used this on my bridal shower and I'm happy I found a home for it. This tower also was a victim of my spray painting, it used to be pink and now it's shiny gold thanks to Rust-Oleum!
- A tissue garland I made using this tutorial.
- My ugly laptop trying to look pretty with a Lilly Pulitzer print as wallpaper.
- Keep Calm it'll be Payday Soon print, a gift from Betty (one of my bffs and bridesmaid).





I loved the results!!! I'm so happy with the transformation... I don't have a 'before' pic but I can take a picture of a random desk and post it haha it'd be the same...

Hugs and kisses... and looking forward to see some Frozentastic desk transformations btw hehe...

It's been crazy these past couple of months! Wedding planning! a lot of it!!! :) and exercise and dieting. I know I'm always dieting but now I have a very defined goal: my wedding.

On my past post I said one of my bridesmaids didn't have her "Bridesmaids kit" yet because I had to ship it to Monterrey but she finally got it and documented the process of opening the package and then the box, so it's only fair to post about her moment as well :) here's the winner pic:

- With the pattern scissors I cut them and this was the result, I only made 3 cards.


 - I painted my boxes with two coats of gold spray paint.



- These are custom-made vinyl stickers a good friend made for me, for free!!!



- They were surprised and weren't expecting this... and most important of all... they all said YES! I'm so happy!!! (I'm still missing one of them, since she lives so far away I'm sending her the box via DHL... I'll ask for a picture when she gets it)

 Thank you girls for accepting this great challenge!!! hahaha...
