What I'll be working on this week
Remember when I mentioned I was on the hunt for a desk for our new computer? Well I finally found one on Craigslist. It was the perfect size and for $100 it was the perfect price too! It's solid maple and it weighs a ton!!
It's getting a whole new look, and that includes a few cosmetic changes too.
I'm using MMS milk paint for the first time, the color I picked is Lucketts Green.
First up, filling in all the holes and getting all the drawers painted.
I was hoping this was going to be a makeover that only took a day or two. NOT HAPPENING! I'm hoping to have it done by the weekend, I'll keep you posted!

I can't wait to see the reveal, we had a desk just like this once!!It was realy heavy!!
What a great desk, Martina! Can't wait to see it in its new color!
That's going to look fantastic! Can't wait to see it.
Great looking desk! Love the lines of it and the color you picked out. I always run into the same issue....I think things will take 1 day and they actually take 2 weeks...LOL! Happy Fall Ya'll from Houston, TX!
Hi Martina! What a great desk and with your touch it's gonna be gawjus! :)
Be a sweetie,

That will be great in green. I have not been painting a coffee table for two weeks. Too many distractions here.
That's a great deal you got Martina, I can't wait to see the color.

What a terrific find. Can't wait to see the transformation.
I hate that when I want something done right away and it takes forever.
I know we will love the end result.
Can't wait to see the Luckett's Green. I have a box and have not opened it yet.
Can't wait to see what you do with it!
I can't wait to hear what you think of the milk paint. I've never tried it. Love the desk and I'm sure you will do something beautiful with it.
Great deal. I can't wait to see the end result:)
I'm sure it'll be fab Martina! You always do such beautiful work.
Have a great day.

You got a great desk for your new computer. Isn't it funny how we can misjudge project time. Whenever I think a project won't take long it does, and vice versa! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Great piece! The green will be so pretty! Can't wait to see it finished!
Can't wait to see it done, Martina- I bet it won't look anything like the original! xo Diana
Great find Martina! Can't wait to see it! :-)
