Craigslist Desk Makeover. Check!

It's finally finished and I'm so excited to show this puppy off!  Remember my Craigslist desk?  Well, I had a hard time figuring out what to do with it because she was in pretty bad shape.  I decided to go bold (which I was debating here) and I absolutely love it.  I definitely have to do some tweaking on my office/craft room moodboard, but I'm so stinkin' happy with how it turned out!  Let's take one more look at the before:

BEFORE

AFTER

I ended up going with Olympic Zero VOC paint in Blue Tang.  It was my first time working with Olympic paint (I've always used Valspar) and the coverage wasn't great, but it wasn't bad for the money.  I've been dying to paint something Oil Rubbed Bronze and I figured this hardware was my chance.  All I need now is a chair!  Don't worry.  I'm on the hunt and can't wait to show you what I find and my big paint project that I've got going on for the office/craftroom!

Alright, let's break it down!

Craigslist find (the desk, duh) $30
Peacock Blue Paint $8
Oil Rubbed Bronze Spray Paint $4

Grand Total = $42  Not too shabby!
