The DESK!

I went to D.I. today on a wim to just look around. I was mainly looking for glass jars for my kitchen and Cricut machine. WHEN, I came upon this beautiful desk. Isn't she pretty? My son has always wanted an desk and you just can't find good quality without spending a pretty penny. This fine find is HEAVY and the drawers word great. So I took it home for the price of $20.00 and spent another $17.00 to fix it up. I was told by the lovely men at the local Home Depot, that when you sand, you should use the 'medium' grain sand paper. So, I sanded and sanded. I also used wood putty to fill in any cracks and holes. It use to look like this (look below) and now................


It looks like THIS! (Look below). I wanted to make sure that I still used the same hardware since I like it and really didn't want to spend another $20.00 on it. So I just spray painted the hardware black. I think it turned out great and I have a 10 year old who will write many stories on this desk!!


Part 2...this is kinda gross...BUT... a good thing. I bought this 6 inch saucer at the locals Roberts.

I spray painted it black to put a ever so disgusting piece of my bathroom in it...you guessed it....THE PLUNGER! With the new toilets being so water savvy, (and young kids in the home) help to attribute to many a clogged toilet! (Hello, 4 squares only please!). Anyways, can't bear to think of this on my pretty tile, so I put it in the saucer. Fits perfectly and the gross germs aren't on my floor.

Its a good thing!
