Vintage Desk Shabby Chic Makeover

I just finished up this hand painted shabby chic desk and it has more layers than you could ever imagine! It's hepplewhite style with awesome oval hardware, an abundance of dovetail drawers and lovely subtle curves.
The entire piece was hand sanded and thoroughly cleaned prior to starting. Then a base coat of gray started off the madness of my layering. Followed by layers upon layers of grays, whites and a hint of blue.
The desk was distressed and sealed for protection in all its shabby chic glory!
This makeover is a custom order and the customer is in love!

    Wow. Your work is beautiful. I have not started yet but am going to try a small item first and see how it goes. How do you make it look like two toned or light stripes of colour in your pieces? It's quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
