I love what you did with this piece! And, for the record, I’m always impressed with all the “cutting up” of furniture you’ve got going on. 😉

Great job. I like how you painted the drawers. The chair is a good match.

Oh wow now that really looks nice! The chair matches it perfectly. And the cost for the whole thing is pretty amazing too.

In reply to cathy. Sometimes I just gotta go for quick and easy. :) I've cut up several desks, and I'm sure I'll do it again. :)

In reply to kate.

This desk only has 3 drawers, but it looks like it has 5. The left and right drawers are deep, but I wanted to keep the illusion of it having 5 drawers. 🙂

I didn’t do anything to the top except clean it. It’s laminate of some sort, so stain was not an option.

I wish you would have cut it up, I was interested in seeing what you would have done with it!

I don’t get what you mean by the five drawer comment. Also, how did you refinish the top, to darker wood, is that contact paper or stain? Our local store has Rustoleum spray paint 20 percent off so I’m excited it probably works for this stuff, too.
