$1 Lap Desk Makeover

If you are a blogger, you probably spend too much a lot of time on the computer. My Sister has a really neat lap desk that she uses and when I’m over at her house for our regular “Blog Days” she lets me use it.  I love it and so I was thrilled when I found one at a church rummage sale this summer.

It was dirty, scratched up, and needed some help.
So, I spray painted it with the paint I used in my $20 Living Room Mini Makeover.

Then I made some rosettes with left over material from Recovering My Hope Chest.

    Very nice! I’ll have to keep an eye out. Had one similar to yours years ago except the bean bag (or whatever the bottom is) snapped to the rigid top and wouldn’t stay on after a while. Yours is beautiful now.
