I bought a small wooden desk to refurb into a makeup vanity for my master bath.. well, it didn't fit how i wanted it to. But, yes I carried on and finished it anyways.. I still like it, and can used as a desk (which i don;t) need or a vanity lol..

I did a black top, with a cream in my coffee valspar color on bottom. topped that with a mocha glaze and clear wax..

Now to decide what i the world to do with it,

AFTER 2

Wow, that turned out great Boo. I'm loving it, so cute.
Love the color that you painted it. Very pretty.

That came out just beautiful!

Wish you lived closer to me, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'll be looking for one when we get back to Mi in the spring. Great job!

Really neatened that desk up! Nice save!

I listed it on cl for $125, i have no idea how to price it.. i paid $30 for it and have material on top of that..

heres a pic of it in what we r turning into a walk in closet soon .. it actually works great with almost any color.

heres a pic thats the best i could get ( by turning flash off) of color

Boo,

Love the makeover! You sure gave it a new look. Good luck with the sale and finding the perfect piece you want.

125 is a very fair price and it should sell easy. I see desks like that all the time in the thrift (not refinished) for around 80 and up.

thanks for the insight on pricing junk collector.. maybe someone will take it i am just not good at knowing somethings worth lol.. gets me in trouble a lot lol

Looks great!

Nice job. Looks great.

Beautiful!!! Great job on the repainting & distressing.

I was in a store yesterday,saw several desks and prices were 130.00.So your on the mark.I want to go back & get the sage green distressed one I saw.

You did a great job on the desk, love the way it looks now!

Great transformation!

Beautiful!

Wow, that turned out great. I'm sure someone will snatch it up.

I'd buy it in a ding dong minute.
It would make a spectacular looking computer desk with the tower going underneath on the right side and such a luxury of drawers for storage.
And my color fave is black so ... how much?

Boo: I've been trying to PM you but it doesn't work.
If you have not sold it yet, I would really be interested.

I am looking for a desk similar but my problem is size. Yours looks like it is under 40 inches.
Can you maybe PM me and see if that works better?
I have no idea where you are located.

hello. i think you desk turned up quite nice. closed up detail shows you really worked in detail.

thank you all!!! for the nice compliments.. i appreciate it..

AREPO ::: I Private messaged you, the dimensions are 40 long, 18 wide, 30 high.. i am from north AL.

All the love and work you put into it, I would feel very bad about taking out the top drawers to make room for our sliding keyboard.
I couldn't do it to you.
However, I would suggest you ask for more than you are. That is one beautiful piece and you should get more for it.
Nice job.
(now come over to my house and refurbish mine!!)

I have had some interest, but folks here don't seem to wanna pay a fair price.. one girl offered me $60 and i have more than that in it .. ugghh..craiglist is fun, but sometimes insulting also i get sooo mad when people do that.. really she offered me under half my asking price..

I have no problem in giving you your price but would you really want me to destroy those 2 drawers so that I could add my sliding keyboard?
I don't think so. It is too beautiful to do that to it.
I think you'll sell it. Give it some time.
Maybe your Dad wouldn't mind dropping it off one day if you really cannot sell it.

thanks! maybe soon! good luck on finding one close to your home.. find you a desk and give it a try, its not hard to redo.. if you need any advice, just pm me..

That came out great! It motivates me to really want to paint my cabinet now!

well,, the desk went "bye bye" at my full asking price YAY!!!!

good for you! It is a nice piece and I bet it went to a lovely home

Very nice makeover. It turned out fantastic.

Congratulations on getting the price you wanted. It was certainly worth it
