CAMELOT FANTASIES

I had been looking for a desk forever. I had this one desk that I didn't like very much and tried to replace it.

But, I couldn't find anything that fit my needs. All of the new desks (unless I wanted to spend a fortune) were more like workstations with virtually no storage.

I went to office discounter stores, furniture stores, etc. and still I couldn't find anything that met my needs.

Then, one night I was helping my son take out the trash when I noticed a desk that fit my needs in my garage. I have a friend who takes old furniture and refinishes it. He gets stuff dirt cheap and gives it a new look. He has furnished his entire house this way. Now mind you, he used to take interior design, and his house looks like a magazine layout.

Anyway, before he bought his house he used to store his finds in my basement and garage. And after a few years of his castoffs being downstairs I was walking by it and not paying it any attention.

A month ago I noticed that this old desk had all of the storage that I needed. So, I had it brought upstairs. It was an eyesore, but it had great lines. I decided to try my hand and making it over.

I finished it the other night. I sanded it down, painted it almond white and bought some really cute knobs. It looks fantastic! I am so proud of myself. I found a solution without spending an arm and a leg and the storage is out of this world.
