I spent most of the weekend working on a couple of projects. The first and most disappointing is a desk I picked up for free. It's an old metal teacher's desk and at first I thought it would be a great all-purpose desk for the house. I had this grand idea that I would sand and repaint it and then move all of the furniture in the house just to

personally, i like wood floors a lot. and i also think you deserve a congratulatory pat on the back for installing it yourself.

and, i would love to come visit with you...

Ditto! Congrats on laying the floor; we should all get together one night for dinner.

The chalkboard paint on the top is a really good idea. It's too bad you can't keep it.

If I had the room, I'd definitely pay you big bucks for your desk.

Perhaps you could sell it online for a hefty amount? I'm sure a DIY-overed vintage teacher's desk would be a smash on eBay or something.

I actually bought the desk on eBay for $10. When I picked it up, the seller told me to just donate the money to Red Cross. So... I don't really think there's a huge market for vintage desks in the area and I don't want to pay listing fees on it. :/

I might list it on craigslist if I can't hand it down to a friend.

hey! I just left you a message on your phone. I will totally come by and pick this desk up from you! I'll give you some $ for it or the paint you used or whatever. Call me or comment back and let me know if you still have it.
