Boy with the green desk and some foxes
Since our girl got a room makeover, we had to do something for the other one also. Spring makes me want to paint and we decided to paint his old desk. I had something like grayish-blueish color in my mind, but our boy said: green. So green it is!
The desk was a purchase few years ago from my former colleague. It was a small kids desk and we had trouble finding a suitable chair to fit it. I don't know if it once had taller legs, but only the really small ones could use it. I couldn't find any proper legs from the store, so after a little wandering around the house, I had an idea. Why not use old wooden blocks from the kids - they don't use them, so let's have it a try.
And since we are doing a little DIY - should the desk drawers insides have a make-over too? Yes, they definetly deserved it. They were filled with kids doodles in the bottom and didn't look very appealing. So we decided to fit in some old maps and tapestry from our old apartment. Now the odd collections of our 5-year-old fellow fit in the drawers nicely!
So now we have a brand new desk, that fits a chair under it, looks quite funky, doesn't it.
And the foxes (lamp & wire-thing) - ordered them online - now they fill the room!
