Can't wait to finish my retro-fitted redesigned computer desk. I'm hoping to finish tomorrow, if it ever stops raining (dang Seattle), so I can fnish cutting the shelves.

The FREE Desk Facelift
I am a "FREE" craigslist stalker. Anyway, this desk was for free and it was just down the road.
I had hubs pick it up for me and a coat of primer, 3 coats of paint and new hardware and wa-law.
A lady is coming to pick it up for $40 tomorrow. Probably could have got $60 for it but we are moving in a week (fingers crossed) and I wanted it gone. Hubs would kill me if I made him pack this into the moving van. It's laminate and heavy!
White paint fixes EVERYTHING
Even UGLY faux wood laminate desks.
And new hardware makes it 10x's better.
