Beside My Desk

I'm about to run out the door to pick up my daughter from school, but I thought I'd leave you with a photo I took earlier today of the bookshelf I have next to my desk.  It was found at a rummage sale for $5 and I painted the interior aqua and left the natural wood outside untreated (you can't see that part in this photo though).  I use it to store work supplies and my extensive collection of Martha Stewart Living magazines.  It's super useful and it's probably the best 5 bucks I ever spent!  Anyhow...

Have a lovely evening everyone!  xo Ez

Okay we really are long lost siblings because I've been wantint to paint some shelves a fun turquoise color! This looks awesome. Do you remember what color you used? It's perfect.

i love this display, great Martha living magazine collection! and love the beaker detail! ^_^

Ahh beautiful! I love that colour. And your array of magazines look good. Love your little set up.

it's comforting to know that i'm not the only one who keeps an archive of old magazines. i'm a real simple magazine pack rat, and i bought my first ever martha stewart living last week...i see that becoming an addiction too!

Thanks for the kind comments ladies!

Katey I still have a little bit of the paint left. It was made with Dutch Boy White Base. I don't know the color name sadly, but... the color code is:D-0 5447E-0 2082R-0 01575I think that is the code... ohhh, now I'm not sure. I could paint you a swatch and send it to you so you could match it. Let me know if you want to me to, ok!

Carrie... I can rarely ever throw a magazine out. This one is my little shelf... the one behind my desk holds all my Domino, Lucky, InStyle, Real Simple, Flaunt, Blueprint, Country Living... and on and on. I have all my European magazines in my bedroom. I have a magazine problem!

Anyhow... thanks again everyone!

I love the bookshelf, so perfect for a magazine archive. Also, I simply must ask what brand of pencils those are and where did you get them? I simply love the light wood tone and colored tops.

oh! if you find the time, can you tell me the etsy artist who created that awesome gocco print in the middle? i have her in my favorite sellers list but my list is so long that i can't find her anymore. thank you in advance!

[Ez]

Wow... thanks everyone!To answer your questions:-Sadly, the pencils have no brand name listed on them, and I picked them up from Target last year. I wish I had bought out their stock, because I love them too. I'll let you know if I ever find something similar or the same.

-The artist of the smaller piece is Seedpod on etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=21262There are currently no items in her shop, but you may be able to contact her through her blog: http://blog.seedpodbooksandart.com/ or her Flickr album: http://www.flickr.com/photos/seedpod/
