Seeing Red

We have added a new piece to the booth and it's a red desk! Kyle and I bought this desk and couldn't decide what color to paint it. We knew we wanted a color to brighten up the booth. Kyle had the idea to paint it red and I thought it was a good idea. Here is what it looked like before:

 
The desk was a little rough to begin with, so he did some things to secure it (placing screws places and doing the manly things he does). Then we put some coats of red oil-based paint on it. The original hardware looked drab on the original white desk, but it really pops off the red now. I am really happy with how it turned out!



And here is what it looks like in the booth:

 
I plan on painting a retro school chair that we have to go with it. Stay tuned for that.
