Ta Da!!!

Well, here it is. I've been busy like crazy with life, and squeezing this in during my spare time. It was ALOT of work, harder than I thought. I thought my arm would never stop buzzing, and that my hand would be permanently formed around the handle of the sander. :)


The beautiful desk for $20!!

Started sanding the top first. Took about 3 days just on the top it had so much old varnish on it.

Got to work on the sides and drawers.
First coat of stain.


This is after the 2nd coat of stain, and first coat of Poly.
And...DONE! We were worried it wouldn't fit around the corner downstairs. It was a tight fit, but not as bad as we thought!

Total cost, about $60. I couldn't be more proud. Jason bought me all the stuff I needed, and I did all the manual labor...haha. But I'm so glad, now I have a real work space/school space. I LOVE it!! Now we just need a chair...
