An Upcoming Desk Change

I've been debating where to put our computer now that the third bedroom is a nursery. It has sat in the corner of our bedroom for about a year now...and it needs to go. I thought I would save up for a cute desk, $200 or so, and put it in the living room. Then I saw Danielle's post, she skirted her computer desk and it looks so great! I am loving the hidden storage that the skirt creates. So I'm thinking.... I will use these as inspiration:

And turn this bad boy into a beauty!
I wanted to cover the desktop in fabric as well and put glass on it but that would cost me between $50 and $70 (not happening). I will however be painting the top of the desk (wish me luck, I heard laminate is not easy to paint, but I did find a tutorial) Stay tuned!

P.S.... look at my cute boy with his dragon valentine box. He and my mom made it, Will was thrilled!

    Loved the 2nd desk gold w/glass top! How fun--the perfect solution. Will you move the desk or keep it where it is currently?

    I especially love the picture of my WB! Glad he was so proud.
