Ultimate Antique Desk Makeover with Faux butcher block

Don't throw away that old desk or piece of furniture! We took this old desk that is built like a tank and give it a quick makeover with some spray paint and a butcher block solid maple top. Depending on what materials you have on hand this can be a quick and easy upgrade you will want to do to all kinds of old pieces you can find. You can really save a ton of money upcycling old furniture like this and really give it your personal style and flair.

How did you remove the existing top on the tanker desk ?? We have a ton of these desks at our office and this was super cool to see !

[@kathywinters4052]

I have one I want to repurpose but I can’t figure out how to get the old top off. How’d you get the top off

[@FinishingFromAToZieg]

I happen to have a piece of glue up maple you started with, this gives me some ideas...Thanks for the inspiration and you got a nice finish out of that Harbor Freight sprayer 😉

[@SquareSplinter]

Thank you! If you have the ability to cut up scrap butcher block pieces there is a ton of stuff you can do with them. And yeah, the harbor freight paint guns are great for the money. 🍻

Measure once, cut twice - just like Dad taught me (he didn't like me much though...🤔)
Kidding, very nice result. You got me looking at my old crappy metal desk in front of me, hmmm....nah. I have no time-tools-materials-money-motivation, it'll have to stay crappy. It does do a nice job holding my monitor so I can live vicariously though 😁👍

Hey if it’s a solid desk then who cares, right? 😆. Thank you.

I like the addition of the wood accent on the front. 😊

Sometimes last minute stuff is the best. 😉
