This is a side view of this IKEA shelf that I bought second hand for $10 from someone on craigslist.The splatter you see is not my attempt at graffiti art, but my attempt at removing the ugly mocha paint the previous owner laid on the perfectly fine white laminate.
It's a good thing she didn't use a primer. It's coming off easily, but it's time-consuming. All you need is a damp rag, a spatula or knife (i've got one of those wooden paint stirring things). Some of it just peels right off.
I'm guessing I will finish this off on Saturday. Thank goodness she only painted the one side.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase.
And I finally hauled ass to Ikea/Schaumburg to get my desk and this rug:
Unfortunately, they ran out of stock on Friday. waaah. Isn't it cool though?
Some day, it will belong to me. Me, me, me!
