wow, I actually read your post. Usually I just skim the photos and put it away in a creepy folder for a later date, but not this time. I read this entire post and loved it. Thank God someone else spies on their neighbors. My roommate and I are thinking of investing in binoculars for the patio… wait what.

Omg, when were you in Regina, Saskatchewan? Did you meet an internet boyfriend that lived there when you were 16 and move there for him? Not that I did that, but it would explain your being there, is all. ;)

ahahaha! I don’t think I’ve smiled and laughed that much at such an awesome, cheeky, spiffy DIY! Thanks for the attitude and the awesomeness.
Will be showing this to my husband to prove that DIY can be bad-ass.

You have inspired me! I’m moving into a new house in a month and I plan on ditching my giant, heavy roll-top desk and I am definitely going to follow your instructions and make own version of this. After I find the perfectly imperfect side table, that is. Thank you tons and tons for this!

I am BEYOND tickled that friend of mine ‘gave’ me your blog. (Hello, new crush!) I am in the process of ‘building’ a studio out of bulk ‘trash’ and bartered finds. And SURFACES have become my obsession. At the moment I am ‘designing’ a desk (is using old doors contrite? Whatever, FREE is functional in my book). Thank you for your EXCELLENT tutorial, but really, for the quality of your writing which is joyous!

I read the whole thing. I swear I did but I just can’t bare to read it all again to figure out where you bought the legs on the right side of the desk. I know the ones under the left side are from IKEA.

I didn’t plan on restyling an ugly desk today but it happened and I credit you for the inspiration. My friend Monique (a few comments above) tipped me off on your blog and this post really stuck with me. Keep it up! I didn’t actually build a desk, I more-or-less cut in half and added legs but hey, it works: http://bit.ly/hgFpgk
