Star Student {Desk Before And After}

 Hey Readers! 
 I've been a little MIA for a few reasons, one big one would be my finger.  It's had a problem.  But it's getting better and I can type again, so that's a blogger relief! The other reason would be that the grass is finally green and growing here and I have a small side lawn business.  The money is much better in that industry than the blogging industry!  That, and I get paid to get a tan. :)

I think this little antique wooden school desk is a pretty self explanatory post, so I'll save my finger and let you see the pictures to see how it all came about. :)  Enjoy!


 I was telling my mom about my vision for this project and that I thought it should have a star on it somewhere.  She insisted that a number was the way to go.  So I combined our ideas and got this:
I made a stencil for the "2" using my tutorial HERE.

  3. Your furniture redoes never cease to amaze me! And I LOVE this color blue. It might have been neat to continue the points of the stars onto the part of the chair beneath, but that would have been quite a challenge, I imagine.
