When Col and I inherited this desk from his parents to move into our apartment when we got married, we decided that we would re-do it over the summer. Well, one summer and almost this next one went by and we hadn't touched it. However, thanks to Col's initiative one afternoon, we squeezed the project in before it got too cold to work on it outside. We've done smaller DIY projects together before (our unity candle for our wedding being one of the best), but for our first larger/furniture project, I'd say it turned out pretty darn good!
the desk was painted white, which underneath had a black lacquer, and then a blonde veneer
underneath all three layers was a pretty reddish wood
chipping away for hours at the paint
and yes, we did some of this inside
after our kind neighbor lent us his heat gun, our paint chipping and sanding time was greatly decreased
this is after a couple layers of polyurethane

final product! (last step: find new handles)
