A few years ago, Adam decided that my Mary Kay stuff was swallowing our only desk. So one day he brought a desk home for me because a patient of his was getting rid of it. I completely understand why! It was a hot mess, but I never look a gift horse in the mouth!
I've been wanting a new desk for awhile, but the ole purse strings are a little tighter these days with the bambino. Have you priced car seats these days! Anywho, I decided to just paint the desk to save a little money and give the ole girl a makeover!
Now let me explain the essence of this desk! It's a particle board
dream nightmare with laminate overlay on the top! It's okay to be jealous! Anyway, I wasn't sure if you could paint laminate or not so I hunted around on google and found out you could. It's not easy but it's doable. So, after some sanding, priming and painting it black, I have a decent looking desk!
The fabulous desk
