YAY! Such good news 👍 For protecting your desk surface, have you looked into getting a clear sheet of acrylic or glass. Both can be cut to size easily by yourself or places like Home Depot or Hardware stores for free or nominal charge. Another option is just using a clear coat of water-based sealer over it. Another UA-camr has a video called "The Best Top Coats for White Furniture that Won't Yellow". She compares 6 different water-based sealants over painted furniture. Her channel is Lovely Etc. Using the sealants will help preserve your wood finish and offer a bit of protection. For myself, as you mentioned your concern was about using markers and having bleed-throughs, I would go for the harder surface protection of the acrylic or glass sheet, lol, but does cost more :D
Thank you! I am still excited about the balance being under $20K, I keep looking at it in my bank app and smiling lol I'll go check that channel out, thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought of an actual physical barrier to protect the surface but that does make sense, seems a good way to keep it safe. I'll check out that video and price match against an acrylic or glass top and see what the options cost. :)
@@burnabygirl8541 As it is the Christmas season, what about using wrapping paper? If you cut a piece of cardboard the size you need, then wrap it in any kind of left over wrapping paper, you would have a protective surface....and if you do end up with marker on it, you could just use stickers or do a doodle over it, and no one would know...lol You could change the paper as often as you want for any mood or season, ;D This would also be very inexpensive while using up any leftover scraps of paper, including printer paper. Hope I gave you some ideas, lol. Have a great day!
