Build a Flip Down Wall Art Desk

I first came up with the ideas of a wall mounted desk last Christmas when I thought having a fold down wrapping station with rolls of wrapping paper and ribbon all neatly lined up would be a perfect spot to wrap gifts. But after considering the weight and size of gifts, I decided to scrap the idea and went with the tool box gift wrap station. Building presents makes for large heavy gifts - you know what I'm talking about. Perfect for an Kid's Art Desk I don't know why it took me a year to realize a fold down desk with storage would work perfect as a kid's art desk. Tiny Space Solution We have this constant issue in our house of no where to color, paint and do simple crafts. Storage Too! But this desk, when closed, takes up NO floor space, and acts as a chalkboard for playing school. Easy Systems You know me, I'm all about creating easy systems in the home that make sense and minimize extra work.
