Today's Old 2 New is a fabulous desk re-do from Marie at the Blooming Homestead.

Marie wanted a smaller desk for their main computer to use in the downstairs of their home. She found this beauty at her local Salvation Army.

Pretty beat up, huh? Even her husband had no idea why she decided to purchase it.

After sanding it thoroughly, including sanding off all the decals, she primed and painted it. She also added some cute new knobs.

She fell in love with the worn top, so instead of painting it white as well, she opted to stain it instead.

I think that was a great choice! I love the contrast of the white and stained top.

Here's a picture of her desk in use in her home now.

Be sure and check out her full tutorial on how she completed this transformation.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm planning to work on a lot of new shop items. Hoping to re-launch with some new fun items sometime next month :) What about you? What are your plans for the weekend?
