A 10 Dollar GoodWill Makeover

June 3, 2016 By stylishrevamp 9 Comments

Wow, it has been well over a week since I have posted.  We are in the middle of a few projects, getting the yard area cleaned and ready for summer, and anxiously awaiting the end of the school year, which is dragging on and on. The school year seems even longer for Gman since his older brothers finished up their freshmen and junior year at college about a month ago. Nine more days to go and we will be free for the summer!

In the middle of all this chaos, I still had time to stop by my favorite shopping establishment…#GoodWill, several times, and walked away with this beauty…

A $10 Goodwill Furniture Makeover

I am so glad I decided to buy this little desk! I didn’t really have a place for it and it was in rough shape but it was only $10. Yes, ten dollars! I kept coming back to and in the end I am so happy I brought this baby home with me.  I found the perfect little spot for it and the hubs agrees, which does not always happen!  I love when things come together!  In the beginning, I was not so sure.

This is what it looked like when I first saw it…

GoodWill Finds Looking beyond the Ugly

It was ugly and it definitely had an odor to it, but I still liked it!  It was missing a knob, the hinge was broken, and it was covered in markers, paint and stickers. For 10 dollars, it was worth trying to do something with it.

The first thing I did was scrub it down with some cleaner and disinfectant.  Then I got started with the sanding.  I was surprised that it did not take that long to sand it down. Once the dust was wiped off really well, I stained it with a dark walnut stain. I am beginning to like the process of staining much better than painting. It is instant gratification when the stain hits the wood.

$10 GoodWill Revamp

I also added Lion Head knobs on the drawer.  I picked them up at Ace Hardware.

GoodWill Treasure

I have to say, I am absolutely loving this $10 GoodWill makeover.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

Until Next Time,

Family Room Revamp

Remember when I told my husband if we revamped the kitchen we would have to redo the family room too?  Well, we did and it is finished. I feel like we are living in a brand new home now that the Family Room Revamp is complete. Now I am itching to get upstairs and start revamping it as well. My husband is probably still not ready for that conversation!
