When The Students Go Home [part 3]

For the history of the craft desk visit part 1 and part 2.

From someone's trash to my craft desk, I'm so excited to show you how she turned out!

Remember this?

And after lots of sanding, wood filling, priming, and painting...

here she is!

We used Penny Hill (Ace Hardware) for the desk. It is a beige/neutral color that looks a tiny bit pink in the sun. We used Ohio Buckeye (Ace Hardware) for the chair, desk drawers, and inside the top drawer pockets.

I drew a terrible picture for Kyle of what I wanted the top to look like. 20 minutes later and he had it perfect!

We found utensil trays at Ikea for the top holes that used to be drawers. I left them natural but added some wooden letters painted my favorite color (metallic taupe- folk paint line).

I found this ugly guy at Goodwill.

Now it's a memo/inspiration board that will hang above the desk.

I hope you're as impressed as I am. If you were anxiously waiting for the big reveal, I hope I didn't disappoint!

I can't wait to get crafting!
