A Vintage Desk Gets A Vintage Makeover

2 Materials
I'm actually pretty excited about this post and showing you all the before and after of how this desk transformed and what's even better is that it wasn't hard at all. I don't know, maybe I go into these projects thinking that its going to be hard work and suddenly surprised they're not especially because patience is not my virtue.
Here is a before shot.
Although I did not use MMS milk paint, I in fact used Country Chic "Liquorice" chalk paint. After applying the chalk paint a couple of times, I simply went over the edges with sand paper to give it that vintage look again and then went over it with my Antique dark wax all over, and lastly with a clear wax. After letting it all set a few hours in between and then a day later I put all the hardware back.
With chalk paint its not always necessary to prime. A little sanding just to make way for the paint to adhere is all I did before painting.
Suggested materials:
  • Country Chic Chalk Paint
  • Dark and Clear Wax
