Okay~ so I got the boot in the 3rd week of OMTWI.
Found out last Friday morning. Yeah, I was sportin’ a pouty lip much of the day….
…’eh, you know…..”big girl panties”……move on.
Would have been hustling all day to finish a few details, get installed, and photograph. But–no worries now.
Instead—walked away from the whole thing. Took a break through the weekend, and decided to make some alterations. Now, with no looming deadline— happier.
I shared the rough-beginning of the original project, AND the inspiration behind it, but this is where it’s at as we speak. . . .
The desk painted–its top stripped, refinished, and the whole piece waxed.
The “hutch” is where I backed up and made revisions. A new corbel design, primarily. But there are other detailed design changes that aren’t so obvious. And, an installation change-up.
Although not quite finished-
I’ll definitely be happier with the new outcome!

Thank you–how very kind of you to say.
I was out of my element at the 2nd and 3rd week, but actually had fun with it–A great surprise!
I guess I should broaden my scope.

Now I am so loving what I see here. This is where you shine and do it so well. That hutch looks gorgeous, I love the wood tones. Can’t wait to see the entire piece together.

You do such beautiful work, always. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m old enough to be your mom, I wish I could be your little helper and learn from the master. 🙂

I got the boot on week 3 of Crafting with the Stars–it hurts! Nothing like throwing yourself into a new project to get over it, though 😉 You’re a winner in my book!
