I wanted all the school aged kids to have a desk for the new school year. I’m hoping that they will all go study quietly in their rooms every night, get straight A’s and then scholarships! A Mom can hope. Broden wanted his desk blue but told me he didn’t want it that aqua color that I keep painting everything. I have no idea what he could be referring to.
The before. It was all banged up on the top so it got lots of woodfill. Goodwill $20.
I liked the hardware so we kept it.
The chair before. $7-Goodwill. If you are buying a desk for your kids measure for the chair. Regular dining chairs won’t always fit with kid desks.
I did my usual. Clean. Prime. Paint. Polycrylic. The paint is Corsair a Better Homes and Garden color.
Love!
I spray painted the hardware in Rustoleum black in hammered finish. Love the hammered finish.
The top got three coats of polycrylic and I confess that I don’t sand between the coats. It seems to leave ugly scuff marks even if I use really fine sandpaper.
I see A’s in his future for sure.
>Brook, your desk and skateboard wall look amazing. Great job! It looks so good and thank you so much for using Rust-Oleum to build your project.
>A+ on the makeover! they look great! My son was in to skate boards! What a great accessory
>Would LOVE it if you would share this at my brand new turquoise lovin' linky party!
>I love your choice of color. And the skateboard shelves are AWESOME! Great post!
>Nice job! I use Polycrylic and find that sanding with a piece of brown grocery bag smooths it very nicely without "digging". Try it sometime!
That is so cool and creative! I am really proud of you. My boys would really love that if they could see it. Great job!
