the new desk

IMG_9867_desk.jpg

that used to be an old desk, that i bought for a whopping twenty dollars. now if you add in the 5 cans of spray paint at 2.50 a piece, the final total was 32.50.

it took a few days and ruined a couple pairs of socks, but i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. and i used mod podge & scrapbook papers on the drawers. which is kind of a waste since it was all covered up with stuff anyway. oh and i forgot about the before photos until i had already started painting the drawers...

love the red! great job. It is amazing to me how different furniture can look when painted. And I think the drawers are a nice touch, it will make you happy everytime you open one.
