Searching for a glam desk within your budget is a lot more
difficult then we thought. We’re talking $900 outta budget.
It’s
especially more difficult when you have something very
specific
in mind. Our quest initially started out looking for
something

a dark path of the “perfect” desk with an imperfect price
tag.
After weeks of searching (we also have serious FOBO:

find it, make it yourself!
We did some research and found out that, a. we changed
Our minds on style (shocking) and b. it’s very easy to DIY
your desk to suite your style.

contact/adhesive paper to your top.
Here are all the materials you will need prior:
When you are done prepping all your pieces,
it's time to assemble!
We LOVE the way it turned out. We can't
believe how good the marble contact
paper looks!

Now that the desk is complete, time to
work on the rest of the space!
Hope you found a little inspiration today!
Happy DIY-ing!
