| Our up-cycled desk |
My aunt offered us this old-school desk that my 20+ cousins had inherited from someone else back in the day. Having had seen what was on offer at IKEA I was all for it. So here are some before pictures. The desk is made from varnished plywood and I would guess it is about 30 years old
 |
| The door had an aluminum lock cover and some |
 |
| the desk once had drawers |
 |
| We fit two pieces of wood onto the drawer slides and made shelves |
 |
| There was some damage on the surface of the desk door. |
 |
| I fixed the chipping with a material called Fakitt which is sort of like plaster for wood. I had to apply several layers with a brush and used sandpaper in to even it out after the material dried. |
 |
| My husband helped take the desk apart and genty sanded the surfaces of the desk (all except for the top) |
 |
| I painted the surfaces with a special base paint (Primer Aggrappante from www.stamperia.com) to make sure that the acrylic paint sticks to the surface of the plywood. |
 |
| We changed the lock cover and bought a key so my son can lock his little brother out of his stuff |
 |
| Taaadaaaa! |
