Kids Desk into Narrow Side Tables by WoodnPaint Designs

Kids Desk into Narrow Side Tables by WoodnPaint Designs

WoodnPaint Designs has a great idea! Take one of those old desks made for kids that are too small to really use as adults easily. Cut in half, they make great end tables! They are narrow and tall, perfect for those smaller spaces.

A wood stained top keeps the look natural and somewhat masculine while the painted sides and front bring color and elegance.

The top set is hidden by taking the door front and adding on a top hinge, and the last one remains empty to show off the pretty baskets. Mix and match for your home decor personal color scheme.

When painting on metal, be sure to use a paint made for metallics, OR, you can paint them first with a product like Dixie Belle Slick Stick or Bonding Boss, which acts as a bonding agent to slick surfaces such as metal, glass, plastic, etc.
