This video is my contribution to @Desert DIY ‘s collaboration, “The Ugly Duckling Challenge”! Our mission was to find the most hideous piece of furniture we could, and try to salvage it. I do that on a daily basis, so finding “the one” was difficult, (as I couldn’t re-use footage from other flips) but I had this sad little desk in my storage room that I’d been avoiding, and decided it was finally time to tackle it.
PLAYLIST with all the other participants!
This piece was a challenge, alright. I had issues with the humidity and my paint and topcoat drying, found lead paint on the drawer, which I opted to remove in case an owner down the road tried to sand it off not knowing it was lead (due diligence).
In the end.. I’m not sure if I ended up with a swan… more like a fancy chicken, but I’m happy that it’s SAVED from a landfill and has a new life. I could totally see this in a teen’s bedroom for some reason! I wasn’t suuuuper happy with the two tone paint, but after all the headache of doing this flip, I was NOT repainting it. haha And it’s one of those things where the more I look at it, the more I DO like it. 🙂
