DIY Desk Upcycle Tutorial ⬇️⁣ Upcycling an old piece of furniture is really such simple and affordable way to make something look ✨expensive✨ on a budget.⁣ This project cost me less than £50 and here’s how I did it:⁣ ⁣ Step 1 – Find cheap furniture on Facebook Marketplace, I found this pine desk for £20!⁣ Step 2 - Remove old handles and fill any holes/gaps with wood filler.⁣ Step 3 – Sand to get rid of any varnish/spills/stains/lumps/bumps and then wipe with a damp cloth, removing any dust.⁣ Step 4 - Apply one coat of primer - I like to use a water based primer like Dulux’s Trade White Primer. This dries in 2-4 hours. ⁣ Step 5 - Apply two coats coats of paint for full coverage - I painted this desk in the shade Bivouac – Valspar Interior Metal & Wood Eggshell Paint, Base C.⁣ Step 6 – Attach new draw pulls – these vintage-style handles cost less than £5.⁣ ⁣ Have you ever upcycled before? Take this as your sign to try it! Trust me it’s easier than it looks, you can do it 🙌⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #upcycle #upcyledfurniture #furnitureflip #furnituremakeover #paintedfurniture #antiquefurniture #vintagefurniture #vintagefurnitureflip #desk #antiquedesk #diyupcycle #deskmakeover #deskflip #valsparpaintuk #duluxpaint #diyfurniture #diyfurnituremakeover #diyfurnitureflip #diydesk #londonhome #ukinteriors #ukhomeaccount #ukhomes #ukhomedecor #ukhomestyle #ukhomeblogger #facebookmarketplace #facebookmarketplacefinds
