Description

So, as the title says it, this is Part 2 of my attempt to remake cheap and ugly commode to perfect desktop.

Instructions

  1. Small 1b 1289744285

    Just a reminder of original commode. Disregard the board on the floor, it didn't fit :)

  2. Small 100 0275 1289424355

    At last I got the perfect size board for my tabletop.

  3. Small 100 0276 1289424404

    And I did the same thing as for commode: a little bit of sanding - painting gray.

  4. Small 100 0278 1289424409

    Then again used some graphic to decorate the edge of the board. Again did it with a pencil, a ruler and some "sticky paper". This is work in progress :)

    Then I put a thin layer of varnish on commode, tabletop and drawers and screw handles on them (I left the original plastic ones, because it looked great with new color) and put it all together. TADAA, my new desk at last! :D * I actually made a perfect shade of gray, so I was able to fix some mistakes that I made on the drawers :>
