In today's S.O.T.D, note the desk next to the bed acting as a nightstand. I'm currently doing something similar in a clients room. Remember this picture of a Craigslist desk?
I picked it up for $35 - steal! I was thinking of painting it a dark brown, but when seeing the great detailed top, I dreamed up other plans for it. It was my first try at staining, and although it was a lot of work it turned out beautiful. It's almost finished, I just need to top it off with polyurethane!
Once it's all pretty and done, I'll be sure to share - keep your eyes peeled for that later this week!
I'm so glad you decided to stain it! I can't wait to see it. I love the room, too. Very serene with some great upholstered pieces!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how the desk looks. I love staining furniture because you always notice nice details in the wood that you might not have noticed before.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll post a tutorial when you are through. I'd like some tips on staining.
ReplyDelete..if you have not already poly'd it, then what about bowling alley wax? it smells so good and has a great matte look....I love buffing....
ReplyDeletejust a thought.
