Cait from Little City Farmhouse created this custom desk with a mix of Summer Blueberries and Elegance. Read on in this post to learn her recipe!
Hi again! It’s Cait from Little City Farmhouse and I am popping in today to share with you a desk I recently refinished in the most beautiful shade of blue!
To paint this desk with two coats, I only used what I had mixed up - 1 cup plus three tablespoons! And I had a bit of paint left over! The coverage of Country Chic’s paint is exceptional!
When the desk was dry, I sanded it smooth with 220 grit sandpaper, knocking the paint off the edges for a natural distressed look.
I then waxed the painted part of the desk with Antiquing Wax. I love the look of Antiquing Wax over darker colours - it really brings them to life and gives them a great depth.
The top of the desk was sanded down and stained. I gave it three coats of Tough Coat to ensure a hard durable finish. This desk is being used as a family command center, and Tough Coat is the perfect finish for a highly used desk top!
I absolutely love how this desk turned out! The colour is beautiful and rich, and so much fun to create!
Enjoyed the project?
