Thrift Store DIY Desk Organizer

I found this DESK ORGANIZER the other day when I was out Thrift Shopping.

 

I thought it had potential. Any wood, even cheap wood

 

will look great with a coat of chalk paint.

 

 

 

I needed to clean it up, just a wipe down with a soft cloth.

 

A little bit of wood glue in a couple spots.

 

Then a bit of sanding with #200 sandpaper, and

 

another wipe down.

 

I got out the supplies needed to paint.

 

I went over to Joanne's Fabrics to get some paint and I saw this set of brushes

 

and I thought I would give them a try.

 

                                                                            

                                             The brush on the left is for stenciling or chalk paint.

                                  The brush on the right is for wax. Easy clean up with soap and water.

 

 

 

 

 

I painted the entire organizer with  Adirondack White Chalk Paint.

 

The brushes worked well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I gave it 2 coats it some places, and left some places with a bit of the dark wood showing.

 

I painted inside the drawer, and on the underside.

 

I moved it around from desk to desk-

 

 

 

 

 

and  moved it again.

 

To the Kitchen

 

 

 

 

 

and then back to the desk again.

 

 

 

AND another desk!
