This is an old oak school desk that I decorated for my 2-year-old niece. 
Going with an under the sea theme I painted coral, sea horses, star fish and butterfly fish on it. Glass beads were added to look like bubbles. 
The desk top was really rough with gouges and all kinds of graffiti. Evidence of years in the school system. To smooth the desk top out I sanded it down and applied Wood Icing to fill in the gouges. Made it as smooth as a baby’s butt and easy to finish with chalk paint. 
I had a blast painting this for her and she loves it.
Did you have to sit in one of these desks in school? Were you one that decorated it with your own graffiti? Tell me if you dare.
