    Absolutely lovely, Mary. My vote is for giving it a home in Sparrow's Nest. Can't wait to see it there when the cottage is complete.

    Definitely Sparrows Nest. Share the loveliness with your guests.

    Mary, this desk would be beautiful in the cottage. Love your ideas and the work you do to make things beautiful.

    Too bad there’s not a “love” button here. The desk is just lovely! It’s so satisfying watching you paint. I love to paint also but I can’t anymore because I have lung cancer. So it is a JOY watching your videos every week! 🥰Blessings to you and your family!

    I really love this masterpiece! In my way, I would have chosen to paint the hardware an antiqued gold / bronze colour ! It would give so much character and make a nice combination with the stickers you have chosen! Love your work ! ❤ Greetings from Greece! 🥰☺️

    @nancypeteja6560 2 года назад +17

    Turned out real pretty! Add some postcards with the Cottage name in the desk too. Note pad, pens, all with the name too. Can't wait to see the finished cottages! TFS.😊💖👍

      @darlenemc3586 2 года назад

      oh good ideas, maybe add a charging station for devices, too. I love postcards, they are so charming and old-fashioned. The old meets the new! 🌿🌸💖

    The desk/secretary is very sweet even without the top piece. The decal adds a lot of charm. It would be perfect in one of the cottages.

  • @hadasscook8028
    @hadasscook8028 2 года назад +4

    Hey Mary, long time follower and fellow Airbnb host. I would definitely add a desk somewhere in each cottage. People travel for work all the time to the strangest places. Our cabin in the country 2 hours from KC and gets workers all the time. We’ve even had an Author come out to finish some writing. Good luck on the cottages. Love your latest piece, so cute!

  • @jenniferharris6317

    I wholehearted love the idea of it being in the cottages. I think it is a perfect tie in to the name and would look beautiful. Thank you for continuing to share with us your inspiration for the cottages and the reason you are making the decor choices you are. There is nothing wrong with sharing your cottage developments on this channel as many people might like the suggestions for their own homes. Things can’t stay the same they become stagnant, that’s not to say you have to leave or change it just may be time to try something new, which is what you are doing. Staying true to yourself because this is who you are! Please continue to share content as you have and develop your businesses while using the talents you have developed in the past, makeovers, in future progress.

  • @AngieWilliamsDesigns
    @AngieWilliamsDesigns 2 года назад +2

    Simple piece. Looks so good. I have a piece that’s almost the twin of this. So this was great inspiration. I think it would be great in one of the cottages. But like you said… seeing it first will be the way to go.

  • @janetdavis5619
    @janetdavis5619 2 года назад +5

    Just beautiful Mary! Yes use it in the cottage, it will be the perfect piece ! Love the trancefers on it! FYI, when I take drawers out of furniture I always mark in pencil on bottom of drawer the order they go back in, sometimes drawers don't fit in the holes they didn't come out of, this is after many years of redoing furniture! Occasionally someone has already numbered the drawers! Blessings Mary!

  • @susishearer9531

  • @donnap587
    @donnap587 2 года назад +1

    That is a pretty piece. I like the natural wood but I also like the white painted, I think the inside of the drop-down desk needed to be painted white to.

  • @Earthy-Artist
    @Earthy-Artist 2 года назад +1

    Mary I'm amazed at how quickly & beautifully you painted this in real time. I'm amazed at how clean you normally stay while painting, this is the first and only time in all the years I've been watching that I've seen you with a tiny bit of paint on your skirt, a very rare occurrence. As for me, I'm normally covered with it by the time I'm done with a project 🤣😁.
