About 6 months ago I found an old desk sitting on the side of the road which had been taken out when the family was evicted. I carried the desk 12 blocks which was a heck of a task and 4 days later I transformed it.
Now I am a decorative painter by trade and furniture is my main thing but I just want everyone to see what can be done to something that someone else finds ugly!  5.jpg (54 Kb, 315 downloads) Before |

Can you believe people throw out such nice things just because they can't see past what time has put there? I just "saved" an old three drawer dresser with a drop leaf on one side from the trash heap. Once I get it finished I will post it as well. I am definitely hooked on reviving furniture. Awesome job you have done!! Love it, FauxNut!!

i was wondering the same thing!
|

Yeah, I'm missing it too!! Or are we 'missing' the fact that it is painted "shabby chic"??

Either i have lost it or there was an after pic.I saw it this morning,but I was on my first cup of coffee.

There was one.. real nice job too. But I am sure it's deleted. There were l links to stores on the post.
Perhaps they'll repost w/out the advertisement so we can see the transformation again. |

I was wondering about the after. I'm sad I missed it! I love the bones of the desk! Great find!
