How To Upcycle a Desk – Bunnings Warehouse

By letter2self on March 4, 2023



Give an old desk new character with a lightly textured finish using water-based milk paint. It has a high-adhesion formula that doesn’t require primer and is fast-drying. Complete the update by replacing the old handles with stylish new brass knobs.

Safety tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves and a mask, for example) and always follow the instructions for the product or equipment.

Tools and materials

Tools:
50mm angled paintbrush
Cloth
Drop sheet
Random orbital sander with 180-grit abrasive discs
Paint stirrer
Sugar soap wipes

Materials:
32mm cabinet knobs with supplied fasteners
Matt clear protective topcoat
Water-based milk paint
Timber desk
Timber offcuts
