You’ll love seeing what a bit of polish, paint, and elbow grease can do for the finished result. This is a project that will have you scanning your neighborhood’s curbs to see what else can be turned into treasure, too!

2. Beautiful Wood DIY Computer Desk

If you’re in need of a computer desk, why not make one yourself? This sturdy DIY computer desk comes together from scratch. All that’s needed to complete this project are a few standard woodshop tools and materials you can get with just a quick trip to the lumber store. The desk is wide enough to hold all your desktop office supplies, and also has an area to contain all the wire and cables from computer equipment. Check out this step-by-step guide to see how a few simple pieces of wood can become a computer desk you’ll be proud to say you made yourself.  

3. Re-purposed Door To New Computer Desk

If you’ve looked into buying a new computer desk from a store, you might have noticed they can be pretty pricey. Instead, this DIY project saves money with the clever solution of using an old door as the desktop. The uses people can find for old doors are endlessly imaginative, and this computer desk project is no different. All this project requires is an old door, pencil drawers, and several other items to repurpose into a brand new computer desk. Even if you’re a newbie to DIY projects, this project can easily be completed over a few weekends with a partner’s help.

4. Computer Desk Makeover

You’ll be amazed at the beautiful transformation given to this old computer desk. And, for an old computer desk that’s definitely seen better days, you’ll love finding out how easy it can be to give it a DIY makeover all by yourself. This computer desk transformation takes an old, beat up computer desk, and revives it with a new, eye-catching diamond pattern. And, the best part is that it’s very simple to complete in a few easy-to-follow steps. All that’s required is a bit of sanding, staining, and a few other items to turn a shabby desk into a sparkling crown jewel.

5. Beautiful Counter top to Desktop

Butcher block counter tops currently are all the trend for kitchen design. And, as this project shows, they also can be a savvy DIY solution to inexpensively upgrade your computer desktop. All this project uses are a few 2x4s and a few other simple supplies to create a computer desk top with a beautiful, custom butcher block effect. And, this DIY project has a clever solution to avoid the rounded edges of the 2x4s. The end result of this easy DIY is a beautifully upgraded counter top that saves a lot of money compared to purchasing a brand new one.
