My Dumpster Find Refinish

A few years ago I went dumpster diving and found this beauty tossed in the trash. I posted about the find on my blog in this post. Really there wasn't any dumpster, but someone had put this desk out for the trash. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. So I hightailed it back to my house from my walk and got our pickup to haul it home.
I had it under a tarp for awhile and finally took the time to finish it. That is of course after the hubby took it apart and glued the slats back together using clamps and wood glue. I repainted the wrought iron frame black and used danish oil on desk surface. I love how it turned out. It now sits in my bedroom and is home to my raggedy collection which I will share with you in another post. So keep an eye out as you never know when you will find a gem tossed aside heading for the dump.

    I'm  here to share my testimony of what a good trusted loan company did for me. My name is Nikita Tanya, from Russian and I’m a lovely mother of 3 kids I lost my funds on trying to get a loan it was so hard for me and my children, I went online to seek for a loan assistance  all hope was lost until one fateful day when I met this friend of mine who recently secured a loan from a very honest man Mr, Benjamin. She introduced me to this honest loan officer Mr, Benjamin  who helped me get a loan within 5 working days, I will forever be grateful to Mr Benjamin, for helping me get back on my feet again. You can contact Mr Benjamin via email: 247officedept@gmail.com    they do not know I’m doing this for them, but i just have to do it because a lot of people are out there who are in need of a loan assistance  please come to this honest man  and  you can be save as well .WhatsApp:(+1 989-394-3740)
