With a little bit of elbow grease something new is reborn, but what this gal does surprised me!

She and her Mother went thrifting and she ran across something she immediately got a vision for.

This is a brilliant idea for a desk!

Then she primed and spray painted the legs gold.

She bought a top for it at Ikea and voila!

She had an awesome new desk with a great modern appeal.

Apparently trestle legs are what these are called.

Thats what so great about watching these DIY project videos.

I usually learn something very valuable that I wouldnt have known if I hadnt seen them.

I really needed a desk and I didnt want to spend an arm and a leg on one.

Now, I am not a finish carpenter Im not even a rough carpenter.

Watch how Mary Elizabeth cleverly revamps this desk in her step by step tutorial!
