Superhero Desk

I was planning on sharing details from Alan's birthday party today, but I have been working very hard on finally getting the boy's room DONE and I just couldn't wait to share the boy's new desk with you.

I picked this desk up for FREE about a year ago.  It was old color when I got it.  It was dirty, and then it sat in my garage for almost a year. 

 So it was pretty gross when I started working on it last week.  First I cleaned it a ton, then I took the back off, then I sanded it, then I painter all but the top yellow, then I realized that looked really bad with the stained top.  Then I spray painted it navy, stained the top a walnut color, and sanded it a ton.

Once I moved it out of the garage I taped off the stripes (SUPER pain in the Booty), and then I used a finishing wax to seal it all.

I love it.  I love the bright color and the mix of the heavy distressing with the clean lines of the knobs.

And I love that it has a secret identity.  Shhh...  Don't tell.

I spent way too much time looking through old comics and cutting out the bits I liked and Mod Podged them to the bottom of the drawers. 

So FUN!

I am REALLY hoping to have the room all done next week. 

 I just want to squeal with excitement about how awesome the finished room looks in my head.
