A Renewed Desk

I have been feverishly painting to catch up on my short hiatus. I attacked this old, all wood desk first.
Scored while thrifting, it was love at first sight.

It has beautiful detail on the top and a great curve to the drawers.

Unfortunately the top was pretty beat up.
Having some success with my dresser, I opted for ASCP Paris Gray.

It received two coats in areas and light distressing.

But it was blah and did not bring out the beauty of the desk. 
With a random (no measurements taken) mix of dark and light wax, I began playing with the finish.

Since I had applied clear wax before applying my wax concoction, it was easy to wipe off the dark wax with a baby wipe.  I did this in the areas that I thought were too dark.

The dark wax really brought out the molding on the top.

There she sits in my space, waiting for a new home.  She really is beautiful!
Let’s recap:

And now:

Hope you like as much as I do.  Another baby I hate to say goodbye to.
