Reuse and move stuff

I picked this desk up for $10 from a garage sale around the corner. That was awhile ago, it has enjoyed life as a desk / dumping ground in our bedroom for my crafty stuff. Anyhow, one of my rearranging episodes included plans to upgrade Sienna from a kids IKEA table to a decent sized desk. In my thriftiness this involved renovating MY old garage sale desk for the purpose - yay!

First step, paint the whole thing white with water based semi-gloss enamel house paint. A couple of coats. Second step, layer vintage sheet music over the top of the desk. Step three is to lay a sheet of plastic cut to (roughly) the same size over the top. I got it from Bunnings already at *almost* the right size, so saved money by not getting custom cut. The beauty of that part of the desk is that Sienna can customise her desk herself as time goes by. If she can see it, that is. It's been a week or so and it is currently laden with puzzles, hair clips, paper, feathers and lego.

The project was based on a Real Living article from awhile ago about how to reinvent tables, if anyone wants to know more, let me know and I'll find out which issue it was from ;)
