Jon's desk

Well it is make over time. My son, Jon is really into gaming on the computer and our old family computer one just wasn't hacking it he said. So, he wanted to get a new computer and took the "how can you refuse me" tactic of getting one. He said, "mom I need a computer that works on the games I am willing to earn half of it can you match it?" Well how can you say no to a kid how is willing to work for it. So, he earned his half and I ponied up my half. It arrives today via the package guy- UPS. And he needed a desk. I found this lovely item below. Sorry forgot to take pictures before I took the drawers out to paint but here it is:

I thought the yellow color was quite charming - he did not agree. All his requirements consisted of were - drawer space and not girlie. You can paint anything I know you can change that. So, off to primer coat..
Then first coat of Kettle Black from Valspar.
Then after 3 coats of paint it is all done. He is not loving the hardware but I said that is easier to fix than the paint job. Now we are going to cut a big piece of thick plexi glass to go on top to keep it from getting scraped up so much. He is very excited. I can only imagine how he'll be when the "package man" gets here. Heres to you my little hustler.
