I've
been "needing" a desk for my crafts, and I found just the right one on Craigslist a few weeks ago, begging me to give it a make-over. You'll remember from
this post, using the same yard of fabric to reupholster the office chair. Here's how the matching desk turned out! I spent $15 on the desk (shouldn't have paid that much,the picture posted on CL was MUCH different, but that's another story...) spray paint, a 1/2 yard of fabric and some Modge Podge! Not too bad to create a unique piece for my little creativity corner of the house :)
Before:
Some sanding, painting, cutting, and gluing...
AFTER:
I had been wanting to try using fabric on furniture, I'm so happy it turned out well :) Be brave, give it a try!

ReplyDeleteAdorable! I was just thinking about doing something like this!
Can you give a little more detail on how you got the fabric to stay on the desk? I have a REALLY ugly dresser that I want to try this with.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable idea! My DD27 likes to refinish furniture in black, and I'll have to send this link to her.
ReplyDeleteWould you be able to provide some directions?
