I was given an older oak desk many years ago and just couldn't part with it no mater how many times I moved and how heavy it really was because I know how expensive desks are... Just a cheap rinky-dink one was $100!!! SO I kept it. Because of Pinterest I decided to paint it. YAY!
I started by sanding it down because it was rough in some places. That took awhile even with an electric sander just because this desk is just so big! During this time I decided that the old wood handles were so lame BUT I ran into a big problem... The original handles were a single hole and the new handles were a double hole. So I filled it in with paintable woodfiller and made new holes. (Please don't say anything about the mess!!! This is actually the only before picture I have!!!)
After I sanded it, of course I primed it. My son decided he wanted to help with this process.
Then I painted it! Looks much better!
