An Old School Desk Makeover

I have been on the hunt for a cute desk for my daughter for awhile now.  I figured it would be a nice to have a place for her in my Mom Cave, (and more importantly, keep her out of my dance space, if you know what I mean). 

I found this cute little desk at a garage sale for $10.  Perfect.  Compact.  Even has storage space.  Score!

But it definitely had a case of the blahs.  Nothing a little bit of spray paint can't fix.

I still think it needs a little somethin' somethin', but this is a start.  I'll know it when I see it.  Maybe a monogram or a stencil on the seat or the desktop?  But for now, at least it has lost its old school look (literally), and fits in with the Mom Cave.

Never underestimate the power of spray paint!  A little high gloss celery green on the chair and some glossy white for the desktop, and we're in business.

Add some markers and set the stage for creativity...

Throw in a basket of goodies to keep her busy (and get her ready for kindergarten in the fall)!  Sniff.

A nice little nook for my girl to get her creative groove on while Mama does the same.
