Ikea kids table


My nephew is seriously the cutest bugger around. One look at that handsome face and huge lips, you will fall for him too. Let's just say I love being "Auntie Squeesh".

Aside from the obvious cute factor--he is the funniest kid. Right now he is going through a phase where he feels like he needs to sit on everything-like a grown-up. He's obsessed with chairs and will try out every chair in the room. 

I came across a small kids table and chair set at Ikea the week before Christmas and figured with his new obsession that it would be a perfect gift for him! And *BONUS POINTS* it was cheap, only $20!

I just spray primed the wood and spray painted the natural wood with "Ivy Leaf" green spray paint from Krylon. The top of the desk I made into a chalkboard (using spray chalk paint), and painted the top of the seats black with black spray paint. Sealed everything with a spray paint sealer (semi-gloss) making it super fast and easy!
