Are you looking for some desk project ideas for that old desk you found at the thrift store? I love cutting up old furniture and changing it into something new and useful.
Old Desk Repurposed into Tall Chest
Damaged Nightstand into Kid’s Desk
Desk Repurposed Into a Kitchen Island
Vanity Decoupaged with Brown Paper (faux leather covers up bad veneer)
Repurposed Nighstands into Chest
Cut a Desk so it’s not so deep
Make a bench or window seat out of an old dresser
I cut down the depth of a desk, so it takes up less space in the room
I love walking down memory lane and revisiting these old projects, I hope you enjoy them too!

January 11, 2013 at 3:43 amThese are lovely projects, Gail. I really like that desk turned into a tall storage unit–very clever idea! My husband took a free, old, beat-up desk, cut off one of the drawer sides, and turned it into a lovely makeup vanity for me last year! I hope to share it on my blog soon, but am waiting because I finally am getting a better camera, and hope to take some pictures with it.

January 8, 2013 at 4:13 pmI’ll never look at a crappy ole desk the same way…now they have infinite possibilities! I’m on the hunt for something to convert to a bed side table and now I’ve decided I need a tall dresser too…lol
