I up-cycled an old wooden desk into a vintage map inspired dressing table
I have always loved old maps, and as I have recently moved to London I used an old map of London on the draws to add character and personalise it
I bought the large mirror, with refurbished wood frame, from a charity shop
When my brother was moving out, he needed to dispose of this old wooden desk and I wanted to give it a new home rather than see it get thrown away
I liked the style but the old varnished pine look is quite dated and didn’t fit into my room
So I decided I would up-cycle it into a dressing table for my room!
How-to-guide:
- Clean and sand desk
- Paint white (or chosen colour)
- Attach maps to draws and apply protective layer of PVA glue
- Decorate!
