I know my posting has been pretty infrequent. Now that my kids are no longer napping I am finding it hard to find the time to do projects let alone post about them.
I finally was able to finish my steal of a desk I got at the Goodwill. I bought it on 50% off day for $7.
It was time for a little makeover. So comes Spring so comes my need for color. See what happened last spring.I jumped on the turquoise bandwagon. A can of Kylon Bahama Sea and now we have this.
Here is how she started. I thought about removing the "bamboo" trim, but as previously mentioned project time is limited so I decided to keep it and it has actually grown on me.
I guess this is the only before picture I took, but you get the picture--it was yellow.
I also loved the hardware, perfectly aged.
It has been great to have more surface workspace and some drawers.
A fabulous project. Love the blue -- love the hardware. It's perfect!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! You've helped me see this kind of furniture in a whole new light. Great job!
ReplyDeletewow! I love it! The blue was an excellent color and I agree with leaving the bamboo. It looks good. My kid still naps and I find it hard to do projects so more power to ya! Thanks for the inspiration... now im gonna go shopping for a new desk to spray paint (mine is falling apart)
ReplyDeletegreat blog! i love the way the desk turned out! great job:)
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have looked and looked for a desk that I could redo but I haven't found anything. I would love to find something like this.
ReplyDeleteI love this! A beautiful turquoise makeover! I'm glad you kept the bamboo, while I would have considered removing it too, I think it looks fab. Especially with that amazing hardware!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of your find - and this amazing makeover! The bamboo trim is soooo cool, and if in time you really don't like it, you can work some more Fawn magic with makeover mark II - but I'm really lovin this!
