finally...

remember when i told you that i scored this desk for ten dollars.  well, i finally finished it...through all of the sanding, coats of paint, etc. i am pretty pleased with the product.

before:  doesn't look as bad in the picture as in person.

cracked, dented, scratched top, dingy off white drawers, jacked up front leg. 

nothing that can't be fixed, right?

sand, wood putty, sand, prime, sand

paint, sand, paint.  find out i don't like the color-too light.  buy darker color. replace one of the front legs. spray paint gold feet. paint 4 or 5 coats or more, can't remember.

and here it is. 

i bought these knobs at anthro.  i never thought a knobs could make me so happy!

really, someone should not get so happy.

in person, the colors are much more saturated.

this will stay at my parents' house until i get a new house.

and now on to the next project- mid century dresser.  more to come on monday. 

have a great weekend!
