This desk has seen a little bit of a makeover....
Here is the before....
VERY solid, sturdy and well built!
But, screaming for some LOVE!
A little shabby chic love coming right up!
This desk was hand painted ever-so-carfully quickly...by me during nap time!
I used a creamy white paint...and mixed it with some un-sanded grout and warm water...
making my own, homemade Chalk-Like Paint.
Then I roughed it up a bit with my sander...distressing in naturally worn areas for an authentic look.
Then, I cleared her with a kiss...a kiss of polyurethane!
The hardware is all original...and kinda cute, I thought???
This desk is headed with me to Clovis Glorious Junk Days this Sunday, May 26th...come see me!
I hope you have a fabulous Friday!!! Woot woot...it's Friday!!!
Love & Junk~
Julie
