Oh real quick,
answers to a couple of your questions:
1. Most of my shoes come from Ross. I'm a big fan of their prices. I've also collected some from Old Navy and Goodwill.
2. The numbers on the burlap nest sticks were done using stencils I made by printing out numbers from my computer and then cutting them out of the paper. I didn't even use freezer paper, just regular old printer paper. Then I lightly tapped on craft paint with a foam brush. So easy.
Now onto the before and after.
So my friend says she needs a desk for her son's room. He has a lot of homework and he needs somewhere to sit and do it. (Poor 1st graders these days!) Anyway she came to the right place because I had this in my garage.
After I got the red done, I sanded down the wood parts to clean off the graffiti. I decided I liked it better like this.
Then I packed it in my little red wagon and delivered it to their house (in my sweats that I had been wearing for two days).
6 witty remarks:
That is a really cool old desk! I have a couple in my basement, but they are just wood and don't have that cool storage thing.
I really love those candlesticks. So cute. I usually print my stencils out on cardstock and hold it down -- I have never tried freezer paper -- I think paper works great too!
Hope you are having a great day!
