How to Turn an Old Desk into Something New!

Hello! Today I wanted to share with you a little project that we did a few months ago. We turned an old desk into something new! I am so in love with this DIY entry table that I had John help me with. We’re on a pretty tight budget around here so even though I can’t buy every thing new I was able to be creative and turn something old, new!

We had an old desk that we were no longer using so I thought that it would be a great idea to make it into an entry table. I am so grateful that John puts up with my ideas and he always tries his best to make them happen.

We didn’t remember to take pictures of him cutting up the pieces but he pretty much had to figure out the dimensions that I had in mind for the table and then went to work taking the desk apart and cutting it down to size. I think the only hard part he had was figuring out how to do redo where to put the brackets for the legs but he did an amazing job!

We (more like John) sanded it and I painted it. I tried sanding but we did not have a little sanding machine so it had to be done by the old school way and I did not like that part so much. Anyways, I think it turned out great! It will serve its purpose and I love the color as well. The lighting here is not the greatest so the picture did not turn out so great.

Now on to figuring out some nice and cute decor for Spring! For Christmas, I used it to display the gingerbread house and some other decorations that we had and our Christmas cards!
