Painted Desk Tutorial...

This idea turned out so cute! Sorry i don't have any "Before" pictures. Remember the OLD school desks. This is a great way to make them look "new" again. I just love turning something old into something new again...don't you? Just takes some paint and a dash of creativity.

Supplies Needed:
Paint/Spray Paint (colors of choice)
Brushes
Stencils (if you don't feel you can free hand it)
Black chalk paint
Old Desk

Sand any places that may need it...and then clean off the desk well.

Tape off the top of the table area.

Then (in you color of choice) spray paint entire area of desk. Make sure to get in all areas...even inside the cubby hole under the seat. Let it dry overnight.

Take your stencils and start making a pattern. (paisleys & polka dots are always fun). :)
My advise is to let this dry overnight too.

Then when you have all that finished to your liking... it is time to start on the Table/Writing area.

Using the Black chalk paint...cover the entire area, let dry and reapply (better coverage).

Then paint any accents you would like on that area. Mine are Monogrammed with my child's name. Of course i loved everything monogrammed. :) Make sure to follow the directions on the chalk paint. Mine called for you to take and cover the entire area with chalk then wash off before use.






This one is for my son...it will be several months before he is able to use it.





Aren't they just adorable!! I loved how they turned out. My little girl absolutely LOVES hers!
