This didn't just come at such a great price by happenstance. It definitely needed some work done. I'm never one to shy away from a little elbow grease, and a girl always likes to get a little work done! The bottom drawer on this desk was cracked and had to be repaired with some wood glue. Also the tracks were off on every single drawer. The lid of the desk had some deep scratches that took a lot of buffing out but here is the result after 6 long hours, multiple trips to Hobby Lobby and Lowe's, and an internal battle when I finally decided to sell it to a great friend and sorority sister of mine, Rachelle.

Chevron Secretary Desk
I found this cute little desk at a yard sale right outside of my neighborhood. It is rare that you can find a great deal on a cute desk like this for a good price. I was obligated to snag it, right? I mean, this desk has two essential things. Its an ever-popular secretary AND just needed a little fixer up in a trendy gray and beige chevron print. What's not to love in that combo?
