Easy
During one of my trash picking adventures last summer, I discovered this amazing vintage school desk sitting road side. I absolutely loved the shape of it and could not resist shoving it into my car to take home for a future project.
First, I sanded the entire surface of the desk. Next, I stained it with Minwax Special Walnut. Then, I added a few coats of white paint to the legs to give them a paint dipped look.
Finally, the desk received three coats of Minwax Polycrylic. This will protect the surface and also prevent the paint from chipping.
Tada! What do you think? I love the way this turned out!
Enjoyed the project?
