My New Desk...

I am STILL working on the office (swear I will post pics soon), but here is a sneak peak of my new desk (about 80% finished)...

My dear friend Allison gave me this table...It was originally black with a nice "frosting-like" (her words) coat of white on top. We stripped the top FEW coats of black...and then white...and got down to this...
I'm assuming it's primer....whatever the hell it is, it did NOT want to come off.
I couldn't get all of the gray-blue paint/primer off without taking that pretty coat of stain off...boo....
But I kept on truckin!...And about 3 hours later it's done....
I kept the legs black, and finished it off with some vintage casters. LOVE.
I am currently working on staining it the PERFECT color...my office reeks!...Not a good idea to stain inside. Duh. But I just could NOT wait to see it in the space...and hopefully you can't either :)

Best Coffee in Tulsa...

As if I have much to compare it to.

But surely it has to be the CUTEST coffee shop in Tulsa.

I went to "Shades of Brown Coffee" (Peoria & 33rd) yesterday with a client, while in Tulsa for business. The coffee was AMAZING, but the decor is what really knocked my socks off! This place was totally decked out with vintage furnitur, and local art lined the walls...LOVE.

Too bad I couldn't capture the smell for you...HEAVEN.

(P.S. I don't even like Coffee!!!)
