  • My daughter used this desk as a teen, but it had been stored in the basement for years until I dissected it.
  • I built up the top, and added some crown molding.
  • Stacked one side onto the other side to make it tall, then added a new MDF bottom and feet.
  • After spraying it with primer and black paint, I felt it needed a little something special, so I stenciled a flowering vine all the way up the front of the drawers. 3
  • I added some glass knobs to finish it off. Because this piece has two deep drawers that were formally file drawers, and 4 smaller drawers, it is very versatile.
I currently have it in the bedroom, storing boots, and business stuff.  LOVE how versatile it is, and it's much smaller footprint.  Same storage, less floor space.  Win/win!
