So...Bug has this little computer desk in his room...
I thought it was boring, and getting a little beat up, what could I do? He has lots of sports stuff in his decor, but also some really cool maps(that he loves) on his walls. I decided to go with the "map" idea. I went and bought a five dollar map at the map store, used a little Mod Podge, and this is what it looks like now.....
He loves this!!! I am actually a pretty "cool" mom for this project. He just wanted the (fake) wood look still, so I didn't paint the rest of the desk, just left it. It looks great, and so easy and fun!
Michelle(the niece visiting, and still sleeping... that's why I'm sneaking in this quick post)and I are doing some of the blocks that Xazmin showed last month, and that she's giving away for her 100th post giveaway. We'll link up later with those....if they turn out!:-)

I love that desk!!! You did a fantastic job on such a large modge podge project! It's adorable. I finally bought me some MP, I need to find the time to use it now! Love it!!!!!!
What a great project! It turned out very nice! Gotta love the "Cool Mom Award" too!
Love the desk!
I really like what you did! Especially since it was for a boy! The Mod Podge projects tend to lean towards girlie. Love this!
So cool! I want you to know that Cowgirl was WAY impressed when I showed this to her!
I love the idea for maps!! The desk turned out very cute.

Love the desk. I have never used Mod Podge. To funny about the geese not chasing you. Thanks for sharing.
It looks fantastic!!
P.S. I HATE geese.
Ooh! Great idea for the desk!
That is a perfect idea for a desk, T!!! You are a "cool mommy"!!
The only cute geese around here are the babies :)

Way, way, WAY cool! You'd have to actually be good at mod podging to pull this off though... haha! I love stuff with maps. So classy and educational! Just saved these pictures in my "eye candy" folder on my computer ;-)
Some day I vow to Mod Podge...some day. The stuff looks so cool. But for now my crafting is focused on the mounds of pictures I have yet to scrapbook. I have seriously never put a single picture in a scrapbook/photo album since my wedding almost 9 years ago! Sad, sad sad!
Oh, this is such a creative way to spice up something! It's so cute that your son loves it so much. What a fun makeover!
Man, oh, man...you did an AWESOME job!
That desk looks fantastic (and a great way to study for those pesky geography tests!)
WOW! That looks amazing!! I am totally impressed. :)
WOW! That is sooo cool. The Bean has a dumb desk in her room that I wanted to paint... but Mod Podge... hmmm. You INSPIRE me! (again)
Love, love, love your desk!!!
You're an inspiration for this sorry sight of a computer desk.

Wow what a great desk makeover! I would never have thought to use such a huge piece of paper, what an big undertaking! It came out so well!
