Yes, it is that time again…Thrift Shop Thursday #28, my love affair with Gold and White continues.

I picked up these brass drawer pulls several months ago at a consignment shop. I am just waiting for the perfect project so I can use them.

Check out the gold ruler and gold scissors. My husband picked these up for me. He knows me so well! The gold and white journal came from T.J. Maxx. I am keeping a wish list with images of future projects that I would like to tackle. I keep all of this minus the drawer pulls on my desk in my office which you can see here. I really love this space. It suits me perfectly!

I scooped up this little white bowl at Goodwill. I like that it is kind of like a pedestal bowl. It also has what looks like lion heads on each side of it. There is just something special about this little bowl! Now I need to find my every day white dishes and finally part ways with my blue, maroon, gold, and green Longaberger dishes. I know what I want, I just need to bite the bullet and do it!

Technically, my last steal is not a thrift shop find but I still want to share it with you all. I picked it up at the grocery store in the floral department.

As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be perfect on my thrift shop three tiered stand which I shared here.

I have added both the white Goodwill bowl and the air plant to my tiered tray. I am so glad I chose to paint the stand white. I think it looks so much better white than black. I like switching out the pieces on the tray too.

Today I was able to go outside and get a few pictures that I want to share tomorrow. We have been getting hit with so much rain and today was the first day without it. As much as I am getting tired of the rain, it has made our lawn and landscaping nice and lush. The rain is moving back into our area this weekend which is slowing down another project that we are in the midst of.

We, mainly my husband is working on our garage. We need to have good weather to complete the flooring which seems like it will be awhile before that happens. I cannot wait to share that with you as well. Maybe I will do a quick post on the before and during stages.

I hope you have enjoyed this installment of Thrift Shop Thursday #28, My Love of White and Gold Continues.

Until Next Time,

I have been stalking Pinterest for months looking for the perfect desk for my new office space. At first, I wanted a white lacquered desk with chrome legs. I was dreaming of a modern sleek style. I love the Jonathan Adler Desk pictured here from Wayfair.

Then I started looking for a white desk with gold legs or gold accents. I found this one at Pottery Barn Teen.

I really like both of these options but did not want to spend that kind of money. Then I started searching Ikea and found this IKEA hack by Just Bella. I thought this was fabulous. It was just what I was looking for and IKEA prices are the best.

I adore the sleek desktop and the gorgeous gold legs. It was just what I wanted. It would be perfect! Then my husband asked, “Do we really need to buy another desk?” I was thinking no, we really don’t need to buy a new desk but oh how I wanted a sleek new desk. My husband suggested we use something we already own. Perhaps, I could use one of the desks we have in the basement. The only two desks

we have in the basement are old, dark antique desks. The complete opposite of what I had been dreaming about…white, lacquered, sleek, modern, and with gold legs.

So this is the desk I am going to be revamping for my office. The desk I have despised because it was so dark and depressing (using Gman’s words).

Yep, I know what you are thinking. The same thing I was thinking… this is not sleek, white nor modern. This is not what I had in mind when I dreamed about my office but the more I looked at it, the more it started to grow on me, just a bit.
