Back to School Revamped Desk

Hi!

School days are quickly approaching and I am so glad I got this project finished.

Sofia's desk! Yes, now my baby (!!??) is going to grade 1 and I thought she needed/deserved a little study corner of her own.

I found this beautiful roll top desk on Kijiji for 20 dollars. Real wood. Heavy. Needing some TLC.

 I primed it with Kilz primer, and painted it with Behr Swiss Coffee.

 Distressed a bit... no, distressed a lot!

 

 I tried a balck knob for new hardware but for some reason it did not click to me.

Found these bronzed color square ones at Home Depot and they clicked:)

I painted the pull out board with chalkboard spray paint so Sofia can write, do her math, her drawings, etc.

This dollar store message board was attached to the door for her/my sweet  little notes

Herbs n' Chalk

HI!

Take a cheap plastic container, chalkboard paint and your sweet herbs....

a nice way to display them...and by my back step, where I can easily reach them when needed...always! ..And it takes a lot of rain to wash it off ....

Wood Slab House Number

Last december our beloved maple tree in the front yard had to be cut off , for our deep sadness.....big slabs were available  and I kept one until I decided what to do.

Bible verse? Funny saying? Abstract painting?

I confess I wanted to use if foe something but was a bit lazy...

decided for this...

 

ENTER.... chalk!!

Our house #, in the front porch, right by the door....love it!
