In this video, join me, Katie Scott from SALVAGED by k. scott, as I take on the challenge of transforming a discarded reclaimed wood desk into a stunning piece of furniture. I found this desk in a trash pile during a bulky item pickup, and it had a wobbly base with broken metal legs. With some creative thinking and woodworking skills, I decided to build a new, sturdier base out of pine 2x2s and match the rustic white waxed finish of the desk's top.
I walk you through the entire process, from dismantling the old base to building a new one, adding pocket holes, and reinforcing it with brackets. After attaching the new base, I explain how I achieved the distressed wood look using stain and paint, and I share some handy cleaning and waxing tips to bring out the desk's beauty.
Finally, I discuss my pricing strategy for selling the desk, where I plan to list it, and my experiences with selling furniture through Facebook Marketplace. Pricing and selling furniture can be tricky, so I'll share my insights and the listing process with you.
If you're into furniture makeovers, DIY projects, or simply enjoy watching transformations, this video is for you. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to my channel for more exciting salvaging adventures and creative projects!
