Consignment Desk Makeover

I bought this desk at a local consignment shop. It was priced $45.

BUT.....it was 50% off furniture.

So it was $22.50......Wait the savings didn't stop there.

I had a 20% off coupon....

Yes, I used a coupon at the thrift shop! lol.

So this baby was mine for $17.00!!!!

She has good bones. I painted it black and for the top I used Chalk Board Paint.

First I scuffed it up with 150 grit sandpaper, wiped it down and primed it.

Not bad so far.

Then I used chalk board paint. Dries VERY quickly.

I need to add another coat of chalk board paint to the top.

And another coat of black paint to the drawers.

I will be putting clear glass knobs on the drawer.

I found a beautiful tall crystal/wood lamp. At the consignment shop....$15

I will be spray painting the wood black.

I have a hot pink velvet lamp shade I will embellish with jewels.

I have a black and white scrolly design drawer liners for the drawer.

Once it is finished I will post the final images.

This beauty will be an addition to my girls' room. They have wanted a desk for a while.

The grand total for redoing the desk will be $80. Can't beat it!
