It’s been a month since we glam-afied my desk, so I thought it’s about time that I reveal it to you guys. First of all I just want to thank my amazing fiance for spraying painting everything for me haha. I’m not very good with spray paint (I get it everywhere) so I had him do it. He did such a great job on everything! Thanks babe!
Anyways, May 31st was the day I bought all my spray paint and the following day was when we painted EVERYTHING GOLD! ♥ lol I know you see a “chalkboard” spray paint in the picture too, but well… I will reveal that later. For that is kind of a different project.
So the first thing we spray painted was actually one of my picture frames with a quote on it. I don’t really know where to hang this little guy so for now, he’s just chillin’ with my big golden mirror.
Like the quote? Print it off here for FREE!
Next we spray painted my little book/picture stand. This used to be black and well… it just wasn’t working.
Like my mouse pad? Learn how to make it here.
Next up was my Ikea Desk – LINNMON/ VIKA LERBERG (I ordered it in White). I originally wanted a different desk that is white and gold but it seriously cost a fortune! But then, I saw this table on Pinterest, clicked on the picture and it brought me to White & Gold Design – Ikea Hack. I literally died and went to heaven when I saw the desk lol. I love it so much! So thank you White & Gold Design for this amazing idea!!! ♥
I love how everything turned out! Tom even did some fancy thing so that the legs are attached to the actual table (it didn’t come with anything for that) so I can move the desk/table around easily and not have to fidget if everything is aligned and what not. Ohhh, I just love my desk – it is perfect! It’s pretty long as well so it’s really spacious for doing multiple tasks. I love it so much!
So I guess that’s it for this post. Let me know below what you think and here are some more pictures. xoxo

Hi Charmaine! I love what you did with the desk and it inspired me to do better than an out of the box Ikea desk for my home office space. So glad I found your blog!
Megan says
How did you secure the legs to the table? Just bought the same items at Ikea and was suprised that they couldn’t be attached.
Ivy says
hello! I also just bought this desk (love love love yours) and would love to know what part was used to secure the legs to the top! Would you mind posting a photo? Maybe we could figure it out that way:)
