paint green, paint green, sand, glaze, dirty up, sand down, glaze up. repeat.
it's getting there! hope to be done tonight. i'm painting a pretty little pattern on the drawer faces, and i bought lovely new hardware for it today. i can't wait til my vision is complete!
(p.s. olympic paint is AWFUL. it's like trying to paint with tempera paint. 4 coats!)
are you selling or keeping?
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of obsessed, but def can't buy. Just looking. I hate being poor.
ha! i don't know...but if you want to commission something similar, you know i'm always willing to work within a budget, sista!

Did you strip the original finish before you painted it?
ReplyDeletelela- no, i just sanded it really well. once i do all those treatments on it, i use a polyurethane sealer to prevent from damage. the desk was pretty old, so the finish wasn't so slick anymore, anyway.
