Awhile back I found a
desk that I loved on Pinterest. I finally convinced my hubby to make it for me. It's really simple. We absolutely love it & it provided more space for our computer. See below for instructions on how to make it and pictures of the finished product.
Supplies: 5 2x6x8 boards, 1 can Pre-stain wood conditioner, 1 can sunbleached wood stain, 1 can fast-drying polyurethane, paint brush, screws, & metal brackets

Step 1: Measure out the length that you want your desk to be & cut the boards to desired length
Step 2: Sand the boards
Step 3: Apply one coat of the conditioner & let dry.
Step 4: Apply one coat sunbleached wood stain & let dry.
Step 5: Sand
Step 6: Apply coat of polyurethane & let dry
Step 7: Sand
Step 8: Apply another coat of polyurethane & let dry.
Step 9: Put the desk together with metal brackets. We ended up just mounting ours to the wall instead of buying or building legs for it. The great thing about this desk is you can customize it.
My walls were a little bare so I needed to do something to bring some life to the room. I was inspired by a
home office photo I found and I used it for inspiration. I bought an 8x10 frame at Hobby Lobby& a piece of chevron scrapbook paper. I already had sticky letters so I found a quote I liked and stuck them on the paper and put them in the frame. It was a quick & easy project.
RATING: PIN WIN!!!
