Destroyed to Devine Desk

We bought this damaged little desk of Kijiji. Brought it home, piled on the wood filler, and sanded the damaged corner, until it looked somewhat like a corner again. Then we sanded the entire desk and had it painted white. We changed the knobs to crystal knobs and there it was. My perfect desk. For under $200.00 :)

You can read more about how we did it here:

And the moral of the story is that tenacity definitely pays off!! This desk really turned out great and you can't even tell the corner had been chewed off!!

Yeah, you really made miracles happen on that trashed corner. You can't even tell anymore.

Thank you all so much! The chair was from HomeSense (here in Canada) comparable to HomeGoods in the US :) We're actually located in Ontario, Canada (not Hazel Park MI-lol!)
