Jen bought this desk at a yard-sale from a girl down the street that had used it forever and was ready to let it go. Shhh, you guys. Don’t tell her how awesome Jen made it look. She’d never stop kicking herself. I know I wouldn’t.
Jen wanted to try the two-tone look, but she’s an overachiever and went with a five-tone ombre stain look instead! I love it, but I think I love the little metal edge details she uncovered the very most of all.

Aren’t they great!? And they were there all along!

Lindsey, remember when you showed us how you made one for your son? I think Jen took your idea and ran with it. Time to up the ante on her, Lindsey. 😉
