Kammy from Kammy’s Korner got this freebie little desk from a friend who was about to take it to Goodwill. She repainted it and made use of a stencil she already had, taking the grand total of this makeover to about seventeen cents. That might be an exaggeration, she didn’t give a grand total. But I bet her friend is like “… um, I just forgot … I actually need my desk back? Yeah, um … it’s a … family heirloom? Yup! Family heirloom! Give it back!”
Great job Kammy! PS: watch your back.

Thanks for the smiles!

April 1, 2011 at 4:11 AMI have this exact same desk. I found it for $20 at a yard sale, one of my best finds. It’s been 3 different colors since I’ve had it! Love spray paint! In fact, I think it’s due for a new makeover, lol.
She did a GREAT job on it!

April 1, 2011 at 4:35 AMThis is spectacular! I’m so impressed by people who can stencil. Seriously, I’m just incapable of clean stenciling.
