Refinished Desk



A refinished old desk for a lavender room. I don't have before and after pictures--I was working fast yesterday trying to get this apart, sanded, the medal painted and put together before the school bus dropped off my granddaughter. I should say it's partway refinished, because I just couldn't cover up or completely take off all that old paint from the former owners. I sanded to a point where I could see all the layers, yellow, blue, green, black, then got out my trusty can of Minwax and called it done. She likes it! yay! I was hurrying too, because if she had seen it all apart, she probably would have wanted me to paint it one solid color.

now where's the wooden pencil box with the top that slides out? and the baby food jar filled with minty smelling white paste? and the box of fat crayola crayons, in only primary and secondary colors, not the cool skinny ones in shades like fuschia and turquoise? and the note from your friend in the third row folded in a tight triangle that says i hat skoool written in secret code?

yes! That IS what it needs! And why would anyone eat that paste?? I remember kids lapping up that stuff! Oh! and spitballs! I could have some fun and cover the desk with spitballs--eewww! Then maybe one of those plug in scent things that smell of elementary school--old wood, kids, saw dust and a musty smell of food from lunch bags of tuna and egg salad sandwiches--oh my, no wonder I has school phobia in the 4th grade.
