DIY – Sewing Desk Makeover

 

Remember meeting this little gem a few weeks ago?

 

 

Well, this little beauty received a makeover this weekend.  It all started with a “sand” job…

 

 

Followed by a new desk top.  (The original desk top had a hole in it {for a sewing machine})

 

 

 

Next, came the stain.  I used an ebony stain on this desk.  I only applied 4 coats, so it turned out more espresso than black.  (The below picture shows the desk with 2 coats of stain)

 

 

After I had completed staining the desk, I finished the desk top off with a coat of white/pink paint.   (The amount of pink in this paint is so minimal it appears white). 

 

 

 

Cost Summary

• Desk — $7.00
• Paint — $4.00
• Stain — free (I already had it)
• New desk top — $4.00

Grand Total = $15.00
