Wendy and I picked up this great desk (I call it)/ vanity (she calls it). It has gorgeous lines and is made with such quality. It's one of those pieces you get even more excited about buying the more you look at it.
I sort of remembered to take a before picture!
Here is the desk...
I dry brushed the desk with our favorite creamy white (coastal biege by Behr). Then I dry brushed the desk with "Light French Gray" also by Behr. I was getting that "coastally" vibe from it, but I really wasn't feeling the top. I was really seeing the top a dark stain to compliment the rest and richen it up. But, I had already painted it. So what's a girl to do? Well, experiment of course!! I heavily sanded the top layer of paint down leaving a decent amount. Then I stained the top, right over the paint. I applied 3 coats of stain and then allowed to dry for about 4 days. I LOVED the outcome! It had the richness of the stain, but had the character of the paint underneath for some added fun!
Happy Experimenting Everyone!
I got a free desk similar to that for my son's room. I love the color you painted it! Looks great!
