what a little can of spray paint can do!!

I've had this desk sitting in my garage for about...hmm 7 years!!! I finally dusted it off, applied some tinted primer and sprayed it charcoal gray. I replaced the knobs with larger, metallic silver spray- painted knobs to give it a more contemporary I'm happy with the results : )

Wow. it looks great. Hard to believe you didn't spend a couple of days refinishing that desk.

You SHOULD be happy..it is so pretty and classy! I just bought a WOOD desk at my neighbors yard sale, very similar, does yours have enough room for knees, could you also put a computer tower in the knee hole?Have you done other pieces? Very nice.

Looks great. Before reading your post, I thought you put new knobs, then I saw you painted them, looks great.

thanks guys! Bernice, plenty of knee room but , unfortunately, not enough for a computer tower, Marcy, I did get new wooden, bigger knobs that I spray painted a metallic silver. Overall, is a nice little desk that will be great in my daughter's room after I use to stage a home in the up coming Parade of Homes here in Utah! You can visit my page on Facebook under Kaza Design, LLC for updates on that project. I have also done some chairs that I will be posting pictures of later. (wouldn't mind it if you like my page too : )
