The Pottery Barn Teen Chelsea desk.
Love it!
The $1000 price tag---not so much.
After browsing through the furniture finds on Craigslist one day, I found this solid maple desk with similar lines and bought it for a cool 30 bucks. Not bad, right?
I sanded the entire desk using a 120 grit sandpaper and then applied a spray primer. After allowing this to dry for 24 hrs, I began applying my paint using a sponge roller. I chose a Behr color in a satin finish for this project called Pillar White.
I love the grayish undertones and way it reflects the light. After several thin layers had been applied and dried, I gave this guy a nice coat of clear (non-yellowing) poly.
Here is the finished result!
(yes, the pictures on the wall look crooked.)
I replaced the old hardware with fresh new pulls and knobs in an
Oil Rubbed Bronze finish.
...and what desk makeover would be complete without the
"before and after" shot!
Thank you for checking it out!
