Our school desks

I have been looking for desks to add to our new "classroom" area. However,I have not been happy with selections that I found in stores. Every desk that I looked at seemed to be at least $100 or more if bought new. The used ones that I came across were either in horrible condition or were not what I was looking for. So, I asked my husband to be on the lookout for desks that the kids could sit at while doing their work. I must brag on my husband, he is quite the bargain hunter, and found two really nice desks at a yard sale. He bought both desks for $10. The desks were in good condition but the tops were stained and painted on. I wanted to individualize their desks to make it to where they enjoyed sitting and doing their work more than they usually do anyway. We went to K-Mart on the lookout for chairs and wallpaper to cover the mess on the tops to make them look better. All in all we spent $10 for both desks, $10 for each chair and $15 on wallpaper. The total price for both desks came out to be only $45! Now thinking back I wish I could have taken pictures of the desks before we added our own touch to them but below is some pictures of our ALMOST finished desks. I say ALMOST because it is still my intention to buy plexiglass to go over the tops to where the wallpaper will not start to peel.
