I have been searching for a computer/writing desk for a while now, but I just couldn’t bring myself to buy a brand new one. I knew what kind of desk I wanted, now the hard part was finding it! Thankfully, within a couple of months I found this antique beauty at a yard sale and I just couldn’t pass it up! I knew all it needed was a fresh coat of paint, and possibly new hardware.
I decided to go with an antique white for the color of the paint. After painting, I decided I liked the old hardware. I went ahead and put it back on the desk and I am so glad that I did! I love it! I do have plans to spray paint the hardware black, but for now I like it the way it is! 
I’m so glad that I waited and did not buy brand new, because I love my “new” used desk! (Also please excuse the fact that I put some of the hardware in upside down! hahaha I realized that after I took this picture!!) -Lindsey
