Today I helped move all of our furniture out of the way so we could mop the floor over at Habitat House…. That’s when I realized how much I hated our little 7 drawer craft desk. It was missing 2 drawers and a third one was broken. So, inspired by this, I gave it a make over.. It all happened so fast – I don’t even have a before shot. Oh well. Eric Wixon brought over his power sander and then we went to IKEA to grab knobs and legs – before I knew it I had sawed off half of the desk, sanded everything down and Eric had already painted the drawers… so I quickly rubbed some stain on it and put it back in the house before it started raining.
