From NEY to YEY
Materials: Micke desk, designer wallpaper
Description: My husband bought this desk for our sons room (he is 2.5 years old) and in his room there are a firecar-bed which is red, closets are white and some textiles are blue.... and this horrific desk was orange!!!! So... I just beautified it.
I have used wallpaper from PIP STUDIO (the birds, butterflies and bugs) and a leather-look wallpaper I don't know the brand of and the door is a wallpaper-test i got from a local painter-shop.
All together, I would guess it cost 50 kroner, less than 10 euro or 10 dollars.
And best of all: Our son can now learn to draw, paint and write at a desk that is made for him.

Great idea! Very simple, but very effective. I personally hate the orange on this desk too and will be covering it with contact paper or fabric.
ReplyDeleteyay norway. nay to orange.
ReplyDeleteDoes your son stand on the chair? There is no way he can sit on the chair and work on the desk-it's too high!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Orange! You should have kept it.
ReplyDeleteyes its beautiful, but i too like the orange but it is a decor choice and doesnt always work, i also question the use of that chair and why does a 2.5 year old need a desk yet.
