Hi. I waqs just wondering if I can put Formica on an old huge wood desk?
I just bought this wooden conference desk that is in it's original condition, which is excellent with just minor fading. However, I bought it to use it as a craft table for rubber stamping and scrapbooking workshops. The room is lavender with white trim and all my other furniture in the room is a bright white. I've been told I am crazy for wanting to refinish this piece but I did not buy it for an heirloom, I bought it to serve a purpose and I am a real matchy-matchy type of person....... Can someone help me out with this? I would like to know if I can cover the desk with Formica laminate? I know that this is what they use on countertops and this tends to hold up forever. Any help with this and/or a referral in the Cleveland, Ohio area would be great!!! Thanks so much for your time. Nicole : )
i'd get some plywood or hardwood to cover it and just use gaffer tape to hold it in place,this way you won't damage the top and you can save it for someone in the future to enjoy.
