My desk is finally done! This is how it started. It was a very pretty desk (actually a vanity), but it had been poorly treated. It had a huge mirror, but the frame looked like it had been eaten by a rodent of some sort…seriously. The finish was marred and someone thought it would look cuter with stickers on the drawers. I removed the mirror (saved the mirror and pitched the frame), because I thought it looked a little masculine to be a vanity, anyway. I paid $50.00 for it at Goodwill. A little on the high side, but it’s a great piece.
So, here’s how it looks now!
I sprayed the brass hardware with Krylon’s Oil Rubbed Bronze, finished in the top in Dark Walnut with a Wipe-On Poly finish, and painted the body of the desk in Creamy by Sherwin Williams.
I love the way it turned out!
The other side of my office is a wreck right now, but I can’t wait to reveal the rest! I just found a wardrobe on Craig’s List that I think will work for storage. I’m going to check it out later this week, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Congrats on being featured over at Kimba's! I was so excited for you when I saw it. You're awesome!!
This is fabulous. I've been keeping my eye out for a desk to fix up. Very inspirational I must say.
This looks fantastic! I am refinishing a dresser in the exact same way.

Gorgeous! I absolutely love it.
I like the way you kept the integrity of the piece, by bringing out the rich tones of the wood.
Love it love it love it! If I am not following already (and I think I am) I am now! You are just too cute and crafty!
Hello…
Ohhh my…what a fabulous transformation! I love that you painted the bottom section of the desk but left the natural wood top! Love that look! Okay…I just have to tell you…I have the exact same desk or vanity, whatever it was! It belonged to my late father-in-law…as soon as I seen the piece, I fell in love! It has now found a home in my frenchy studio/office! Ohh my…just had to tell you! Hehe!
