Free Roadside Rescue Painted Desk Makeover

After spotting this desk in someones trash on the side of the road I did a quick uturn and lugged that sucker into the back of my truck.
It was a beast of a piece and took a ton of work to bring her back to a usable piece of furniture, but I am happy to have kept Another piece out of the Landfill. Come see the transformation of this rescued desk!

Hello again, my BEAUTIES!
Hello again, my BEAUTIES!
I am not going to lie when I say "SHE WAS A BEAST"
Once I got all the formica off, you could see what it had done to the top.
I wandered around the garage and out to the shed to see what I could use to fix this top.
I had this decorative molding that I had used on other makeovers and decided to wrap that around the edge to give it more detail.
Once everything was in place I grabbed my Americana Decor Chalky finish paints and painted the the piece.
It was a ton of work, but I am so happy to have saved her from the landfill.
I brought her to my booth and I am happy to say she is now in someone's home,
Enjoyed the project?
