So he hauled it outside & went to town. First he whipped out the putty and filled in all the dents & holes. Next came a little power sanding action (above picture is post sanding). Finally, out came the big guns. Take my word for it . . . the man knows how to work a can (or 2) of spray paint. Pretty well trained, I would say. 
Not too shabby! I think my work here is done. 
This is a double play for him. Not only does he have a little more space in the garage, he also has a very happy wife. Hmmm...maybe if I put some of the other projects I'm working on out in the garage they'll miraculously get finished as well. Too bad he can't sew.For more second time around treasures visit Diane @ A picture is Worth 1,000 Words.

WOW! It turned out so nice! He really does know how to work that can of paint! I really like how it turned out.... The clock looks nice too:)
:D i was ooohing and aaahing over the shabby top pic. :) maybe it's worse in person?? i do love that black, though.
It looks great! What a great day!We have the same clock! We also have the same couch (green with floral pillows!) How funny!
OOO, I love this adorable desk. It is just perfect in black!! LOVE it..
I love it black. The last house I lived in I had everything painted white...but my home now all that white didn't work. So out came the primer,paint,and brushes...to paint almost everything black. I just love the way black furniture shows off other colors. Like on your desk.
Lust is a sin... Lust is a sin.... I am not going to lust....
Beautiful job!

Thank you for visiting my site and leaving me a nice comment.
Did you say $20? What a bargain!!!He did a good job-the desk turned out real nice.
With old furniture you just need a little elbow grease and a paint.
Now, that is a wonderful trasnformation! Great job!
Happy 2nd Time Tuesday...
XO,

I love it! Looks like something right out of Ballard Designs or Pottery Barn!
Thanks for linking to 2nd Time Around!
I am sooo glad you came by for a visit. I went back through many of your posts..so glad you reopened this blog...LOVE your redo, and your quilts, AND yes that is the same waverly pattern I used on my drapes. I can see you love color like me! Do you mind if I add you to my blogroll? cherry
Fabulous! It's amazing what a bit of elbow grease and paint can do. :-)
That's it? Why have my husband and I gone to such great lengths sanding everything down a zillion times, varnishing, drying, clear coating, and drying furniture? Hmm..what I could have done with all that time? It looks great.
THAT is a beautiful piece! And where can I get a man like that?
