Talk about day and night! Before it looks like a desk you’d see in an institution and after it’s this beautiful desk that I want in my home!

In reply to Melanie T. Thank you!! I linked the glue that I used up in the supply list in this post. I believe I called it Instant Glue in that list. It has some weird name that I never can remember or spell haha. But it worked great!

Thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial on how to make over Ikea furniture! I love how the desk turned out! The added interest with the popsicle sticks takes it to another level! I’m currently working on making over an Ikea type piece I got for my office. The size and proportion were perfect but the black laminate was not going to work. I’ve scuff sanded all the surfaces and primed with Stix. Just waiting for it to warm up a bit here in Massachusetts to set up outside with my home-rite sprayer. My paint store suggested Benjamin Moore Command after I complained how long Advance takes to dry – so I decided to try it out. It seems really durable so far from the testing I did. I’ve got another Ikea piece lined up after this one Keep the mid-century modern vibe coming!

Fabulous style changeup on this desk! I loved everything about it. Just curious as to what glue you used to adhere the wood sticks, if you don’t mind sharing. I always look forward to getting your weekly tutorials on Fridays!
