This video shows the step by step process of an old school desk restoration! We found a vintage school desk at a local auction and paid next to nothing to get it. After talking design, we decided to give it a little bit of a facelift. This project requires A LOT of sanding... Like, 90% sanding and 10% everything else. But, it was an extremely rewarding project that went through a huge transformation. And honestly, this project proved to us, that as long as you have the time, a project like this can be done by ANYONE. It was not a complicated project by any means and really required a few tools and products to get it completed. See below for a complete tool and product list that got us from start to finish. Items used to do this project include: Dixie Belle chalk paint: https://amzn.to/3f3jro5 Waverly chalk paint: https://amzn.to/2Q6xyAK Orbit sander (note: Dewalt is a good brand but other brands work well too) https://amzn.to/3vSzrQO Wood finish (in shade of your choice): https://amzn.to/3bfcBL5 Polycrylic: https://amzn.to/3vPZrfu Foam brushers: https://amzn.to/2Q1Anmu Chalk paint brushes: https://amzn.to/3bcFec3 Dust face mask: https://amzn.to/33ueQ96 Lead test if concerned about the finish: https://amzn.to/3uypszO Here is a link to the written tutorial: https://themakinglife.com/school-desk-upcycle/ Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
