DIY refurbished desk. Quick and easy way to paint it

DIY painted desk. My original desk is from Walmart. Just search black desk. But anyways the black looked good with my room when I got it but recently I switched bedrooms at my house and took the opportunity to re decorate. So the black no longer went with my room and I decided to do all white furniture. But I just did not have the time to sand this baby down so I went and looked at spray paint. I found a brand that worked well on finished woods that required little to no sanding. So I gave it a shot. 

What you'll need:  

One can of primer

One- two cans of white spray paint

One can of a clear coat

(The picture above is the primer and paint I used. The brand is Rust-oleum. The clear coat was in the same line I just don't have a photo.)

Tips: make sure you are doing it in a well ventilated area and do not do it in an area that it hot. The paint will separate and not stick.

Spray in even, short and straight lines so that the finished looked is nicer looking. 

Before Desk: 

Coat one of primer:

Coat one of white spray paint:

Coat two of white spray paint:

Then I touched up some areas and spray a clear coat:

Finished product! It turned out really well and I love it!:

Bedroom Inspiration Board

 

 

This is my ideal bedroom at the moment. I am currently redecorating it and I find that having this inspiration board keeps me motivated and headed in the right direction. If you have a dream of what you want something to look like then put it all together on a board so that you can come back to it if you forget how you wanted something to look or feel stressed out.

 

 

1. Collage of picture frames and mirrors that will go between two sets of doors I have with an awkward space between them.

 

2. A fancy little collage again that I am going to put above my bed.

 



3. These are the wall colors that I am using. One dark accent color and 3 light colors.

4.  I am going to use all white furniture and white bedding.

5.Again I am using white furniture so I am going to have a white desk in the corner of my room.

6. These ladder shelves are so popular right now. They are cute and provide shelving space.

7. Mason jars are really big right now so I am going to make a candle jar out of them.

8. Tea cups are so cute and candles are amazing so the two together are great!

9. Covering books that are ugly that match your bedroom is great.
