It had these old stickers on it that weren't the easiest to get off. A little elbow grease and an electric sander finally did the trick!
I love the way it turned out! The thing I like best is that I was able to refinish the gold caps on the feet. They were covered with a tacky multi-colored urethane, but I got it all of the old fashioned way. I think the original, cleaned up hardware looks amazing next to the glossy black paint job.
Check the gloss and the paper. I used scrapbook paper I had on hand to line the drawer. Love the print.
What do you think???

It looks fantastic!! I love what you've done, especially the fun drawer liner!
Oh my gosh, beeeaaaautiful! I could use one of those in my place!
I love the mirror above it, too.
It also looks like you have a promising white vintage desk in your garage... what are the plans for that?
Its super cute - talk about a transformation. Love that you used the original knobs!! Are you putting it in your entryway?....it looks great there!
Holy cow, that turned out stunning! It's so lovely on its own but the way you styled it with the sunburst, lamp and basket really make it chic!
Fantastic! Looks very sophisticated - great job.

You know I LOVE this piece! And can you please tell me where I've seen that lamp. I know that I recently saw one....Marshall's?
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! I found a desk at the Good Will a few days ago and painted a high gloss black and it looks freaking FABULOUS!!!!! Check it out!!!
thanks ladies! i love that other desk in my garage. i'm either going to sell it, or it may be going into a client's space. i have to keep stuff for a little while so i can get over my emotions when it's time to part!
I LOVE it! Wow! It really looks classy with the new coat of paint. Great job.
It looks fantastic!!
Ooh girl...that is sharp! I love the black knobs and feet. It's styled perfectly with the lamp and mirror. All that's missing is a pretty vase of flowers. PERFECT!
