These cabinet doors were a curbside treasure that caught Mindi’s eye and made her slam on the brakes! She brought them home and decided to turn them into a desk for her boys. At My Love 2 Create, she says, “When I finished this desk and put in my boys’ room it is was a toss up for who was more giddy, me or my boys.”
Mindi used scrap wood to cut nine shelf boards, then attached her shelves to the doors using screws and wood glue. She found “a piece of that 70 year old barn wood” from a previous project to play the role of desk top. Mindi added plywood backing, 1″x2″ trim, and some cool bed slats to form the “X”s holding the sections together. She sealed the barn wood with polyurethane, primed and painted the rest of the desk, and then spent six whole dollars on bins to put inside. That was her total budget, right there! Are you as impressed as I am? No wonder everyone’s giddy over this fabulous desk!
