Goodwill desk transformed
Caroline Amusement Park-ized this thrift store desk! See her blog post for the before and after shots plus more about Quilt Market, where this guy will be on display. 
And she even wrote us a tutorial on how to make those fabric covered knobs. Click here to learn how to make your own.

Geez, that's gorgeous! and inspiring...humm maybe for my new workshop
Very fun! I am quite a sucker for orange, though, too. ~jen~
I love it! I think what she's done with it is absolutely fantastic!!
Wow, that's wonderful. It takes a lot of imagination to see something that fresh in a desk that used to look so ordinary.
Wow - what an amazing desk. The colours are so zingy, very inspirational!
This is awesome...how could one not be happy sitting at a desk like this?
This is awesome.
Oh the possibilities! I just have a boring fake wood and metal desk in my classroom. Wish I could talk the principal into letting me do that :)
those fabric covered knobs are fantastic! and the color pattern makes me smile :)
Is Caroline a robot? she's amazing.
WHAT?? That is too cool!!
gah! Caroline is brilliant. i always look at the ugly ducklings in the thrift shop and see potential. your bright fabric added the magic touch. what a fun and happy desk to sit at.
wow! thats majestic!
That is TOO cool. Now I finally know what to do with the plain white chest of drawers in my bedroom!
Wow, Thats super, super awesome.
That desk looks awesome. I have always wanted to do something like that, but I don't really have room for a desk.
Also, I tagged you on my blog. Go check it out! www.aksarbenlove.com

Oh how fun!
That's a great looking desk!! Thanks for sharing the link.
I love this! Thanks for sharing - I'm just starting a little furniture redo for my daughter's new room, so the timing was perfect!

LOVE it. Love your fabrics. Love what she did with them. Love the desk.
I have a vanity that I need to redo and just when I thought I knew how I was going to do it, this gets thrown at me making me rethink the entire thing!
I love it!
Larissa, I believe Caroline is an android, yes.
What a cool looking desk. But let's be honest, it's the kicky orange fabric that makes it :)
Hot pink and orange...you can't go wrong. How cheery!
great transformation! Always enjoyed a good before and after post. Thanks.
*sigh* it's wonderful. Dh has promised to build an outhouse for me to move my things into (it'll have to double up as a 'school room' and I'm so looking forward to all the decorating, I'll have much more freedom to do so in there than in the main house and this sort of thing is really inspirational :0)
Yeah, I often wish I had a second apartment I could decorate all crazy, so I wouldn't have to live in it, but I could visit it for fun. Have a good time in your outhouse.
i LOVE this! thanks for the great idea...
that's so awesome, i love the pattern on top
Ooo... I love it- in a funky office for me? Someday!
love this project! I printed it and added it permanently to my inspiration file! THanks !
