Upcycled Superhero Desk

by Heather Painchaud

I am in love with the way that this desk turned out!
It is just the perfect thing for a little boys superhero bedroom.

I picked the desk up at a garage sale for $10 a few months ago. After taking the old {wooden & square} knobs off, I gave it a good sanding. Then I stuck it out on the front lawn to spray paint the entire thing. After two coats of Krylon primer and four coats of Krylon fire engine red I had created a lovely red crop circle on the front lawn. I’ll just mow it later. *wink*

DIY superhero drawer pulls are the perfect finishing touch.

The desk is also perfect for the boys’ small, shared bedroom. It is only about 3 feet by 18 inches in size and provides a great little workspace for when they go to school.

The red makes me think of Spiderman somehow. Very nice.
