When you can’t go to the beach, it’s nice to have a little slice of that paradise closer to home.
As much as I loved spending every waking minute of my youth playing at the beach, I knew my parents couldn’t afford a three-month stay in a beachfront cottage, so I had the next best thing; a sandbox. That little space was perhaps the only reason I would go outside to play in the summer, and it was my favorite toy until a baby toad took it over as his new home — but I digress.
Understanding the multitude of fun that can be had in a sandbox, AnitaH25 decided to build her great niece one for when she came over to visit. Purchasing a $20 desk online, she was able to transform it into the prettiest sandpit I’ve ever seen. And if you have children studying, you can pick a reliable study table like this study desk in Malaysia to help them focus on what they are learning!
After picking up the desk, AnitaH25 was disappointed with its condition and decided that it would be put to better use by repurposing it.
She purchased a plastic container that could hold quite a bit of sand and traced the dimensions of the bin onto the desk.
Using a jigsaw, she cut out the space and removed a good portion of the desk to better serve a tiny toddler.
She dismantled the desk drawers and added a piece of wood to hide the plastic container.
All that was left to do was sand down the rough edges and give the desk a fresh coat of stain.
