We have a really nice Good Will thrift store near us. I can usually stop by and find some treasures for really good prices! I recently found a sturdy desk for $5 and a queen size head board for $5 also.Nice and sturdy desk, but needs a little work!
Nice sturdy desk great for a kids room! Just needs a little touch up work!
Here is the $5 head board I found! Can’t beat that price!
The desk is very sturdy, but was a little beat up on the outside. I used some Elmer’s wood filler to fill some of the scratches and holes. Then I used two coats of primer and two coats of paint. I recommend Zinsser primer.
For the head board I had to use a spray paint primer and paint in order to get all the lattice work parts evenly. Then I used regular latex paint for the smooth parts of the head board.
After the spray paint primer coat.
I used paint and primer I already had so all in all these two projects cost $10 total! Not bad!
Looks great in my 8yr old’s skate board bedroom!
Here is how the head board looks all set up!
