A Little Desk.

Here is my latest furniture transformation.

This super cute little desk wasn't always this cute:

I found this cutie at the local thrift store for $5! There was NOTHING wrong with it except the fact it was a little drab and needed some TLC...

I began by wiping the entire desk down with a damp rag REALLY REALLY well. Then dried it with a clean, dry rag. Then I unscrewed the top of the desk from the "chair" part.

After the desk was disassembled, I attacked the ENTIRE thing (including the desk top) with Kilz Spray Paint Primer.

After a few coats of Kilz, the desk looked like this (make sure you let the paint dry REALLY well):

Then I got out a can of Krylon Catalina Mist (Me FAVORITE color EVER)...

and got to paintin'!

While the desk was drying, I got out a can of Krylon Chalkboard Spray Paint (the COOLEST paint in the entire world.. I mean you can literally make ANYTHING into a chalkboard!) And I painted the desk top following the instructions on the back of the can.

Once the desk was COMPLETELY dry, I took some sand paper and began to sand all of the edges of the chair (you know I can't resist the "weathered" look!):

Doesn't it add so much character?!

Now the littles have a super cute and functional art desk in our playroom!

They love it and I do too!

Isn't it amazing what a little spray paint and some sanding can do?!
