Extreme-Desk-Makeover

Before we moved to New Mexico we decided to get rid of any unecessary things that we had. We decided to get rid of our desk simply because it was ghetto. When we got moved into the house and got settled we decided that we did indeed need a desk; although we did not want to spend a

lot of money on it. One day we took a load of junk to Savers, as we were leaving there was a little man dropping of this precious gem. . .

So we asked him if we could have it and he obliged. We took it home, washed it, sanded it down and then painted it black. Once it dried we decided to sand it down a bit and make it look antique.

The drawers had this nasty old paper on the bottom. So. . .

I used my new favorite thing Mod Podge, and put new paper on the bottom of the drawers.

Here is our cute little desk!!

We are actually quite proud of ourselves because neither one of us has every really done something like this. It was really fun and we got to spend some quality time together.

I don't know what it is about this New Mexico air but it has definitely brought out the craftiness in me.
