Before & After: The Red Barn Outdoor Market Inventory!
26 April 2012
I mentioned yesterday that I had dreamed of writing individual blog posts for each piece I’ve redone for The Red Barn Outdoor Market…but that obviously didn’t happen due to time constraints (and quitting my job!). However, because of those plans, I did make sure to get “before” photos of each piece, so I thought I’d give you each before & after shot, which are always my favorites to see! So, enjoy, and make sure to come see us at The Market this weekend!
Ohh, I didn’t show you this one yesterday. This “before” JUST might win as the “ugliest” purchase I’ve ever made at Goodwill!
Items added for scale this time! And seriously guys, I’m thisclose to adding a “Not for Sale” sticker to this one!
This is the top of the antique Jasper Desk Co. desk that I restored…you can see how much damage was all over it. There were also burn marks (some from cigarettes, some from I don’t know what) on the other side that aren’t pictured.
This is a side shot, showing how dinged up the legs were.
I have the same desk. I got it a couple weeks ago from Craigslist. It was painted brown so I sanded it and stained it. Just need to put the polyurethane on it. You are very talented Alina! I am going to try to get to the market. Where is it?

I own a jasper desk like the one you restored. Do you know where to find the value of a desk like this?
