• A new project

  Caleb is starting school in two weeks (yikes!) He will be doing two days in class, two days of homeschooling through a classical school.  This means I have to be organized!!  In nearly six years of living here, I have never had a office area or ‘command’ station.  As a homeschooling mother of three, this has to change!  I grabbed an old, very beat up, hand-me-down desk from upstairs (it looked too bad to use downstairs!) and decided to remodel it  

   

   

  I’m too lazy (busy?) to sand it down and paint it properly.  So I just sanded off the worst parts and then decided on a nice can of black spray paint (what a timesaver!)

  

  Oh, and those outdated knobs and drawer pulls had to go!  For $35, I got two cans of black spray paint and all the appropriate hardware (8 knobs and pulls)

  

  Here is the beautiful finished product!  I’m so proud of it

  I added this molding along to the bottom, where a very plain board had broken and fallen off.  I think it adds a nice touch!  The project took about two naptimes (or 3 hours)
