I came across this quote, I had pulled out of a magazine somewhere. Anyhow, last night while I was living vicariously through Next Food Network Star (it’s a toss up which one I would rather be, Next Food Network Star or HGTV Design Star, yeah, I dream big). I was going through my pile of magazine pages I had pulled out for ideas. I felt energized to create again, and was able to formulate some ideas for my “Junque” desk I found a couple of weeks ago.
Remember this beast? You can read about it HERE
Anyhow, the quote:
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work”.
Hopefully that won’t be me, missing the opportunity, that is. Fortunately I will look like this most of the week:
Hope your week is off to a good start.
that desk is deeeeelish! can’t wait to see how you work your magique on it!
LOVE the quote….I copied it….plan on making it my signature tag line in email. (and I need to find a desk like that for my basement….I should get busy!).
oh wow! that thing will be amazing! can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Ha! I’ve got a matching picture—we could be bookends!

I’ve just found your blog and I love it! Can’t wait to see what you do with the desk – if it’s anything like your industrial dresser (how I found you) I know I’ll love it!
I love the quote … it’s got a lot of truth in it. You’re going to make that desk shine…can’t wait to see it!
Blessings!

Funny but serious question, what brand of overalls do you wear? Every pair I have owned have fallen apart in the washer eventually. I live in paint clothes as well and love to work in overalls (especially when I’m bloated-LOL). I heard that Dickies has overalls for women, but I have never seen them in stores, I hate ordering clothes online, because I am clueless what size to order. Oh, I love the quote!!! 🙂
