I Love this Desk

Hi All,
I am excited to share this desk makeover!  I love the color and the way it turned out!  Sometimes things just work.

Forgive my before shot!  I just jumped right in.
You can see that the bottom drawer needed to be filled and drilled for the hardware.  Thankfully the hardware was with the desk.

We Hubby stripped the top for me.  Oddly enough, one side came right off while the other proved to be stubborn.

Isn’t that odd?

I was able to remove the rest with a sander and then apply walnut stain.
Meanwhile, I had painted the desk with Annie Sloan Provence.  Oh how I love this color!
(Note: you should really strip and then paint)

Isn’t she a beauty?

The dark wax gives it the old world feel.

I painted, waxed, sanded and applied dark wax to the hardware.  I’ve never done that before, though a bit of work, I am loving the look.

So you do not have to scroll up, here is the before.


She is pretty and available for sale.  She will be arriving this weekend at Heritage Square Antique Mall.
