My dad found mine in the trash, score! The wood is amazing as it is, it was used in the 30's, 40's and 50's by the etchings into the wood, which I absolutely love, on one bottom side of the desk it says I love Elvis lol scratched into the wood. I don't want to change its character, other than a good sealer but I want to use it as a hall planter. Or photo shelf, etc Anyone have any ideas how to level the wood top without changing the integrity of the desk, meaning nit a,whole lot of drilling into it yet I want it to be level? ? Any ideas welcome.

I didn't know that there was such a thing as Chalkboard paint. I was going to purchase some chalkboard material and glue it on top of the desk. But I may try that paint instead. Did you use the rust paint to remove all the old paint or did you spray it first, then prime it and use the color paint?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407882808486548266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36461283.post-55354436201483175932011-12-14T12:23:05.154-08:002011-12-14T12:23:05.154-08:00Looks very good, indeed those are some really old ...Looks very good, indeed those are some really old models.<br /><a href="http://www.xlpharmacy.com" rel="nofollow">viagra</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36461283.post-57196296674922727802010-06-27T11:19:48.464-07:002010-06-27T11:19:48.464-07:00Thank you so much for the tutorial!

Then I found out it has a bad word scratched in the top!! So, I have to spray paint it. <br /><br />Honesty time: Is the chalkboard a pain to keep up with? Does it make a major mess on the front of their shirts or anything like that? It sure looks cool, and I'll paint the top black at the very least. <br /><br />And, I use the same steps at Home Depot (or anywhere for that matter!).

I have a 9 year old, a 4 (almost 5) year old and a 2 (she'll be 3 on the 7th) year old. Our oldest is in public school and the middle child is in preschool at our church, I'm really thinking of homeschooling since schools in our state are pretty bad.
