I decided I HAD TO HAVE a Roll Top desk to organize our bills, so that I could HIDE the mess when people came over. I looked and looked on Craigslist and when I saw this one, I immediately knew I had to have it! I could see the potetnial, I loved the drawers along the top and down the sides and it was made out of Quality Solid Wood!
And it was a STEAL OF A DEAL!
And it was a STEAL OF A DEAL!
It had quite a bit of wear on the surface, where children had etched their name into the desk, among many other scratches...
Nothing a little sanding couldn't take care of though!
We sanded down the desk & primed it...
Then used a sprayer to coat in a deep red
and finished off the desk, perfect for the small space we had available for it!
and when people come over, I quickly roll down the top to hide our mess! :)
I love it!

Totally kicking myself for not taking the roll top desk I couldv'e gotten for free from my friend when she moved. It was beat up and I couldn't envision how great it could look.

Great job! I could use something like this to hide my mess instead of grabbing everything and putting it in the window behind the curtain (ha ha).
Fabulous makeover... it looks great! The color that you used is beautiful!
Oh Yea!!! Just beautiful! I have an old secretary desk! This gives me the liberty now to go and paint her!!!
Thanks for sharing this with us! Found you from MMS!
That desk looks great. I like your creative title!
What a great find! It looks like a very solid piece of furniture and I really like the red. That thing must've been a beast to paint! You're a brave one.
It seems like it would be a difficult to paint a roll top desk. Great job!
I always love RED, you did a great job! Good idea to spay it. Lezlee
