Happy Birthday Wayne!!

So I suck at keeping secrets.  I have already given my hubby most of his gifts as I got them.

But this gift has taken me a while to finish and set up.  The cloudy white stuff is the sealant and glue we used to decoupage the surface with comic book images.

I had alot of help from my wonderful sister with this project I cant thank her enough with out her lep this would still be unfinished.  We reclaimed parts of a vanity, and resurface a spare desk to fill in the back wall with a L shaped space to do lego things.  We got a bluetooth speaker/light fixtur to hang over the area and light up the shelving.  Only 3 shelfs are set up just to give an idea of what can be done, I do have more brackets and shelving so he can change it up how ever he likes.
Besides the desk/lamp his other gifts are - 3 mini fig's, 2000 lego's, and six16x32 lego boards.  Oh and a Pokeball phone charger!! Not pictured cuz I havent gotten a photo of him using it yet.

WIP- Birthday present

So instead of a crochet post, I am doing a creative post.  My hubbys birthday is coming up and he is not all that enthused with yarn gifts so I am building him a full wall shelving and L shaped desk so he can display his lego sets, figures, books, what-not.
I plan on papering the top of the desk with panels cut out from his collection of comic books that he is willing to part with.  So right now I am taking staples out of books as delicatly as I can.
Pro tip -- Have a good light, a nail file, and if you dont want to get ink all over gloves.  I only had one of these things and probly should have gotten/used the other two.
Prepainted the desk tops with a matte black just in case I miss a spot while papering the top it will not stand out (atleast that is what I am hoping for).
Going to recruit some child labor to help me with cutting up all the comics, and picking out the best pannels.  She is a pro, but more of a Batman fan when I will be hualing over more Spiderman, X-men, Superman stuff.

Will post more later when I have more progress done!
