Here is the promised post about Addilyn's art desk. It was Tyler's creation and labor of love. It started out as this:
This was the best "Before" picture I could find. We found this desk out by our dumpster in Chicago and decided it was too good to throw out. It certainly wasn't pretty but it was decent wood and would serve our purposes (as Tyler's desk) well enough.
Here is the first "After" picture.
Another shot. Notice the tilt. Tyler made so it can be used at different levels. Addilyn seems to prefer it up as high as it will go. You will also notice the roll of paper that threads through an opening in the top. Addilyn has already gotten a lot of use out of this feature.
Tyler made spaces for lots of art supplies. The cup on this side is supposed to be used for water for her paints and he even cut the opening at an angle so it could be used more easily when the work surface is tilted up.
This was my one contribution to the desk. We wood burned in her name. For the first time wood burning, it turned out pretty good. And, as Tyler pointed out, it made for the first art project for the desk.
As we mentioned in our previous post, this is Addilyn's very first piece of art produced on the desk. Let us know if you'd like your own original piece because I'm sure Addilyn would be more than happy to oblige.
