Did I mention that when my Fab Sister was here shedemandedsuggested we find a desk before she left so I could start work on my future office? We found this one on craigslist, but only after driving to kingdom come and back again. Why is it that when you're not looking for something, it's everywhere. But when you're looking for it, you can't find it. Anyway. The man had it listed for $25. After taking a look at it and surveying the work, she talked him down to $15. Plus he just wanted it out of his garage. Score. It fit just perfect in her Suburban. Sweet. So I worked on it today. Got all the drawers to open and close. Real wood, no laminate here.And ladies and gentlemen........here is the before:
And of course, the after:
I decided to stain the top and keep it dark, a much better work surface. I kind of like the look. What do you think?

OH MY GOODNESS! I love it!!! I can't believe that is the same grungy looking desk we brought home. You did it so fast! And it looks like you spent a lot more than $15. Did you put any liners in those drawers? Some of them looked like they had kept engine parts in there. Anyway, well done, Becky. I think your office is well on its way!
