As I was perusing KSL Classifieds yesterday I came across this:
For $17!!!
You know I had to have it right?!?
Even with the missing drawer pull...
So I picked it up {10 minutes from my house} and brought it home.
Boo~Bear was due home late last night and I didn't want him to see how ugly this was
{it was a little more beat up than I had hoped}
so I got to work...IMMEDIATELY!
Rather than painting with a brush like I did with my dressers...
I took Mandi's advice and tried the spray paint method!
First I had to wipe off all the grossness...and let me just say...
GROSS!!!
then I pulled out the primer...
which didn't hurt the pocket book at all 'cuz' I had some leftover primer from another project!
I enrolled the help of Twelve Gauge...
Should I worry that he spray painted with immense enthusiasm?!?
And then went to town with my 6 cans of Krylon black!
End result...
Oh ya...forgot to mention that the lost drawer pull was hiding in the drawer {SCORE}!
What do y'all think?
Worth $17 + some paint?
It's BEAUTIFUL! Great job!

Hi Jessica, Thanks so much for linking this up to Fab Friday. This is one of those projects that really deserves the title, "Trash to Treasure"! I'm impressed.
ReplyDeleteWarmly, Michelle
That is GORGEOUS. Can you come over and re-do my entire house? PUHLEASE?
ReplyDeleteSO fantastic! I love that you kept it classic with the black, it looks super sharp. Nice work!

what a score!! and you definitely did a FABULOUS job with the makeover :D
ReplyDeleteTotally worth $17 bucks and the paint :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!!!
WOW! That turned out insanely awesome. You are might better at the whole spray painting thing than I am! I did our kitchen table a few months ago, and while it looks much better than it did before, I would hardly call it a "good" paint job. Hehe. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the little guy helping out!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is gorgeous! My color blindness is hindering me here: is it black or dark brown? And what color are the pulls?
ReplyDeleteSince I have you here, have you ever attempted to cover the inside of drawers with fabric? I have an equally beat up dresser that I'm hoping to convert to a china hutch and I want to cover the drawers with fabric...anyway, I shouldn't ramble...the desk looks amazing!
That looks amazing! I'll be curious to see how the spray paint on the pulls holds up. Nice score.
ReplyDeletewell hello gorgeous! Who would've thought?!
ReplyDeleteKids take such pleasure in spray painting, huh?
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this. That's why you did it. You got the desk and thought, " What would Lesley do? ". Yes?
Whoooo Hoooo! YES $17.00 turned into lots more....wonderful job Jessica :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing on the T.G.I.F. Linky Party and I hope you'll join us again next week. :)

Very nice Jessica! Turned out great! I have to say, the scary thing is I have a desk JUST like that in my basement! It looks like your desk when you first bought it though! ha! Maybe I should get me some paint too! My hubby probably won't let me paint it tho....it was his grandpa's desk and he's funny about stuff like that.....but I told him, a lot of good it's doing in our basement?! Maybe he'll come around.....but again, nice job!
