Project: My Desk

This is how my work area looks on any given day . . . a lot of “extras” on the floor.  It was starting to bug me.

I found this beast on CraigsList.  I loved the shape.  The wood laminate particle board, not so much.
But, it has potential, don’t you think?

After studying painting methods at this site, I started the long process of transforming it.
The desk is painted in the same color of my living room – Benjamin Moore’s Winds Breath, but in a synthetic alkyd.
It is topped with a water-based polycrylic by Minwax in Gloss.

Drawer Pulls were bought on eBay.  Exactly what I was looking for – I love the size of them.

The legs are wood, but were painted in Rustoleum’s Oil-Rubbed Bronze Metallic spray paint.

I’m really pleased with it – tons of space on top and even more in the drawers – good-bye extra containers.
