Writing desk

I picked up this writing desk from freecycle. It is the perfect size for our guest bedroom.

This is the picture from the posting, so it fails to show that the front leg on the other side had been ripped off and it was just balancing there. I ended up screwing the leg back onto the desk in the only solid piece I could. I then "rebuilt" the side and the leg with sawdust and wood glue. It worked very well.


I painted it an antique white and distressed all the edges. I still need to replace the knobs (I am thinking glass ones) but for now, it's all good.


I lined the back of the cubbies with scrapbook paper and will do the same for the drawer.
