My suggestion was to just sand it and try painting since you think it's ugly anyway. :)Sarah and Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16435623628491082034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376208923938748851.post-91551211614022665902009-07-29T19:49:54.991-07:002009-07-29T19:49:54.991-07:00Well all those suggestions are way better than any...Well all those suggestions are way better than anything I would have come up with!

This is a hobby of mine, to refinish old, secondhand furniture. Here's my idea...take it for what its worth. Get some cute scrapbook paper, or wrapping paper, fabric or even what Cathy suggested, contact paper that you like and spray adhesive, or modge podge it down. Then to keep it nice, you can cover it with an epoxy clear finish. If you want help with the steps and products to use, let me know. You could also give it a good sanding (just to rough up the surface) and paint it, but you would still need to finish with a clear coat of epoxy. I like the idea of flowers too, again with a finish on the top.paulakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04296448744354544683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376208923938748851.post-22837032235902156152009-07-29T11:17:15.879-07:002009-07-29T11:17:15.879-07:00You could put flowers between two layers of plexi ...You could put flowers between two layers of plexi glass, spray paint one sheet of plexi glass to hid the surface, once you have everything pressed you can just screw it to the top of the current desktop... if that doesn't work, you could place fabric down and then put plexi glass over that... you could do a printed piece or you could t-stain a cream piece of fabric and place flowers on that and then put the plexi glass on top of that and screw it all in.. just make sure your fabric is glued or it will twist when you try to screw into it! You could put hole punches in the fabric where you want the screw to go!!! Good luck... let us see when you are doneMosershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299989857649890115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376208923938748851.post-74576223278117112432009-07-29T04:47:37.809-07:002009-07-29T04:47:37.809-07:00This may be a really dumb suggestion (I'm not ...This may be a really dumb suggestion (I'm not crafty either) but what about contact paper? Or, maybe you could put the crushed flowers down under a thin piece of clear plastic and glue it down somehow. Anyway. Probably shouldn't be making suggestions, but there you go. Fun find, though!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317957827532207500noreply@blogger.com
