So here are their pretty little faces

... all of 100 of them!

I went into my dashboard

and printed them out.

I just cut them into strips.

Then ripped them into individuals.

Fluffed up the pile a few times...  

and once more for good measure.

Closed my eyes and spun around

and around and around..... okay I'm  

kidding about the spinning part.

And the winner is...

Phyllis @ Around the House!

Phyllis is a very sweet person and has

a wonderful blog. Be sure to go

visit her at Around the House.

For this weeks Transformation Thursday

I want to show you my "Transformer Desk"

Gina, over at The Shabby Chic Cottage,

hosts this event every Thursday. I will

have the link at the bottom of this post.

"Transformer Desk"

I picked it up at the Goodwill for

30 bucks. I know... kind of expensive,

but it is in tip-top condition.

I didn't "need" another desk, but I am happy

I got it because it is the same wood and

finish as the wall unit that is hiding

behind the plaid chair.

Oh, and speaking of chairs... I just

happened to have this little desk

chair in the very same finish!

Now, when I first saw this desk at GW

I thought it would be great painted a

creamy distressed white, or even black.

But, when I got home I realized that

the only room I could really place

it in was the family room.

Since it is the same color as all the

other pieces in that room... it will

just have stay "orange" for now.

This is how it looked in the store,

except the little removable cubbie

box and the magazine rack were

hidden inside a drawer. 

It was all folded up... looking just

like a three drawer file cabinet.

Then I started to see that it was much

more, with it's fold out desk top. 

I was also pleased to find the

magazine rack in a drawer.

Hubby needed to square up the back

 and tighten the the screws, so the

drawers would close right.

A few more screws... a little glue

and now it looks brand new!

I like multi-purpose things

that can "transform".

Don't you?

Now hop over to The Shabby Chic Cottage 

and see all the other transformations.

Oh, and be sure to say hi to Gina.
