If my house is anything like yours, homework is a chore! My 7 year old son thinks 10 min of math homework a night is awful. :) I had been keeping my eye out for some sort of desk that would be deemed the homework desk, to hopefully make it all a little bit more exciting & enjoyable. I ended up with an old, very loved (full of stickers and marker) from an online consignment for $10. I also bought a $10 chair from Target to go with the desk. I decided to refinish the desk and chair with a combination of products:(Note the affordability of the chalk paint vs spray paint--another thing I love about BB Frösch) 1. chalkboard spray paint (not to be confused with chalk paint!) {$7} 2. gold spray paint {2 @ $7 each} 3. chalk paint made using a lovely shade of mint mixed with BB Frösch chalk paint powder of course {$5, although I only used about $1 worth} 4. black chalk paint {left over from previous projects} After doing this project, I have to say I HANDS DOWN prefer to use chalk paint over spray paint! I love how I can count on the RELIABILITY of my results with chalk paint. Spray paint is so messy, drippy (is that a word?!), took a long time to completely dry and caused much frustration for me. Chalk paint yields fast drying, even texture, and most importantly reliable results. But beyond that, I put the VERSATILITY of BB Frösch to the test in this project and was thrilled with the results! I used BB Frösch chalk paint on WOOD, METAL, PLASTIC & RUBBER! See the diagram below: And because we all love them, here are some BEFORE & AFTERS: The kids have loved the chalkboard desk top...and apparently so have I! :) I think it's safe to assume my 5 year old approves!
