Dresser Redo

It has been one busy morning already.  I got up, got the kids up for school, made lunches, and got the kids off to school.  As if that wasn't enough, I loaded the dishwasher up the rest of way, ran that, made laundry detergent, got a load of laundry going, and made breakfast.  Now I am going to sit for a few minutes and share one of my latest projects.
I bought this desk last year (around late fall) for $10.00 off of a resale site and have been itching to re-paint it.  At first I was all perfect and started patching holes and scratches, gluing loose draws, and sanding it.  Then, I realized where this desk was going when it is finished so I stopped being perfect.  As soon as summer vacation arrives I am going to do a thorough job of cleaning my son's room and replace the desk he has in there with this one.  I have to wait until then because we have an exchange student that will be leaving us in a few weeks.  No use starting until there is less stuff in the room.
Before

This is what it looked like when I bought it.  Complete with a pencil sharpener.  Which does work...
I would say not bad for ten dollars.  Solid wood and sturdy.











After

You are probably thinking, "Why orange???"
Well, about a year ago (maybe longer) I purchased a super cute table off the same resale site and patched, sanded, and primed it.  Then I went on Facebook and took a vote as to what accent color I should paint it.  Orange won...  Since this desk is going in the same room and I already had the paint, I decided to paint it the same color.
I can't wait to put it in the room.  Right now my son has this cheap computer desk that shakes bad when he clicks on the mouse while playing his online games.  You can hear it through the floor to the living room.  It is so annoying!!!
