Do you know of any Creative Idea’s to redecorate an old desk with a hawaiian theme without being tacky?
Please Help! I was given an old desk. Its part wood and part pressboard. My daughter’s room is themed hawiian.
I don’t want to sand it or remove stain. Its dark stained. Its not smooth anymore because of how old it is. I would like to know some craft ideas to make it look new again and work with her room. Thank you in advance.
Aloha. My name is Taylor and I am from Hawaii. I am one of the great Hawaiian artist. You have several choices depending on how much work you want to put into it and how creative you are. Because I’m sure the top of it’s press board can be a problem 1. you have to sand it and primer it, I suggest “the gripper” it’s the best. then you can apply even a Hawaiian theme wallpaper with a sheet of Plexiglas’s on top to keep it clean or 2. hand paint Hawaiian flowers, birds, whales, dolphins, or palm trees and turtles.3.To the dark stained areas you could use that darkness by using many layers of lighter acrylic colors giving the affect of an Hawaiian hut or bamboo, even palm trees. Good Luck Aloha Nui Loa Taylor
