ethan's new desk

A few weeks ago I bought Ethan a desk for $15 dollars at a resale store. The wood was in really good condition and all 4 drawers opened easily. The only problem for Ethan was the color. I guess white is not a good color for boys furniture according to him. So I asked him what color he would like to paint it and of course "Air Force blue" was the answer. We have our old dining room table and chairs in the garage that Jake uses to do projects on and Ethan thought one of the chairs once painted would work great for his chair. He said it was a "big man's chair". We worked on it for a few days sanding, cleaning, priming and painting....and some more painting. The humidity was unusually high for our area and I had to redo a few sections but after all was said and done we had a nice little addition to his room. Now he has a place to do his homework and secret drawers to hide his spy gear in but shhh don't tell him I told you :)

My next project is to decorate his room. After Gracie was born he begged us to get rid of his full sized bed and buy him a toddler race car bed. I don't know why I did it cause now he wants his old bed back. Anyways his room has no real theme just a few leftover sports things from his nursery and a race car. Maybe we will have to do a little online window shopping at etsy for bedroom ideas.
