Desk Redo


Hey y'all!

I promise everyone is doing great. I am SOOOOO happy it's the weekend! Not that I direct keep a task or demand a twenty-four hours off or anything haha! But I direct keep genuinely been working difficult today as well as existence productive on trying to instruct a few of my projects done. One of them was this vintage desk an former friend from Minot had given me. It was originally a really pretty as well as rustic stained forest colouring as well as I painted it aqua as well as heavily distressed it. I got ill of aqua pretty quick as well as direct keep been pregnant to pigment it.

So, I'v been experimenting alongside novel methods of paradigm for dissimilar looks as well as outcomes, etc. In this detail project, I sanded downward most 85% of the slice but I left simply about of the aqua on the wood. As you tin rank the sack encounter inwards the paradigm demonstrate below, I started staining using "English Chesnut" inwards MinWax Wood Stain. I stained the bare forest sections as well as wiped over alongside a stuff the aqua sections as well as thus it would genuinely rank it an antiqued look. I ordinarily LOVE to pigment everything white as well as don't instruct me wrong... I genuinely wanted  to pigment this slice white but I demand simply about pieces to suspension upwards all the white.



I don't always recall to accept a BEFORE picture. My bad. I direct keep 1 of my other figurer I'm certain but this couch is as well as thus comfy.


So hither it is inwards our novel home. The aqua colouring genuinely looks similar a genuinely antique white instantly since I wiped stain over it as well as allow it sit down for most 3-5 minutes to allow it soak in. The balance is the "English Chesnut" stain on overstep of bare wood. I desire to instruct simply about vintage knobs to supplant the petty forest ones but I yet similar it for now.

Here's a unopen up. It has a lot of article of apparel as well as tear but that simply adds to the character. Why would you desire to sand it out?!




I'm genuinely happy alongside how it turned out. Above is a semi- earlier as well as after. What create you think?
