Belinda Graham, of the fabulous blog The Happy Home, turned her tired old Ikea desk into something spectacular with a few basic materials and a lot of love. After cleaning it up and slapping on a few coats of bright white paint, Belinda created a fabric curtain to hide the harddrive. (Brilliant idea, P.S.)
