I think I have a girl crush on you Centsational Girl! I’m searching high and low (my husband’s moderately concerned b/c I “eye” every yard sale and antique shop we drive by) for a secretary or rolltop dresser for my home office. I’m a stay at home mommy and real estate extraordinaire. Oh yeah and my office is in my dining room so I need a fast way to cover it up when we have dinner guests…but it has to look nice. Found a clunky rolltop at Goodwill for $40 but passed it up because it didn’t have exactly what I was looking for. I’m on a hunt for super cheap secretary or hutch that can be closed to hide all my work stuff. You have inspired me to keep looking for a good deal AND what I want. When I’m ready you better believe I’m coming back for this tutorial. You rock!

I’m sooooo glad you posted this!! Been a fan of yours for a while. In fact, you inspired by “new office” transformation!! BUT…I need to finish my office by painting an old dresser to use for organizational purposes. After reading your tutorial I AM READY to tackle the project!!! Thanks so much for sharing!! You truly give me that ” I CAN DO THAT” attitude!!

I adore this! I’m getting ready to do a desk over the holidays when I’ll have some time off. I can’t wait. I would love to do a green one. However, this one is going into a red and orange room. I don’t want to do black, although that would be the obvious choice…do you have any ideas?

Thats the VERY desk I have. Except it’s white. Been in my family forever, I’m going to paint it black for my office!

I can't believe you got that desk for less than $10, what a find! It looks beautiful with the green paint.

Oh I LOVE this and the color is just WONDERFUL! My dd has a similar piece I’m wanting to paint, but not sure how to remove that hardware – how did you get it off, I don’t think it’s screwed on like knobs are.

Thanks!
