i bought this desk on friday at a garage sale for a whopping 10 dollars. i was super-geeked about it. just needs a little sanding and painting and it will be as good as new! it smells like smoke though, so hopefully airing it out in its temporary garage home will do the trick.
don't you find that unplanned purchases can end up being the sweetest!
see, the top is pretty to' up!
would you keep the current colors or do something different? i'd love to hear what you think.

I think I would keep it black and white, I think that's the color. Or you could paint it to kinda match your decor... grey/lime/black. Whatever you do it'll be good!
ReplyDeleteSweet score! Loving this desk! I would have to see where you are putting the desk to choose a color. Maybe new knobs too? Go girl!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a wood stain instead of the black - or a fun color and then some brass ring pulls! Great find!
ReplyDeleteI looove this desk. I am literally GREEN WITH ENVY that you scored this for ten smackers. Can't wait to see how you clean it up.

LOVE this mid-century desk! i would keep it the same colors but maybe change the hardware. also, if you wash it with murphy's oil soap and let it air out, that should take care of the smell.
ReplyDeletestop it you lucky girl i love it. SCORE!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Dayka - keep the current colors and find new hardware - great find :)
