This vintage school desk was given a whole new modernized look by Heidi from Lily Field Furniture with Full Bloom and Silver Bullet metallic cream!
I have had this vintage school desk sitting in my garage for years. It was in rough shape and needed some serious TLC. My daughter was home sick from school for a week and we were going stir crazy and needed a project to work on together!
In order to save time we first sanded down the base and painted with a base coat in Pebble Beach Chalk Paint. This gave the base a similar color and made for less coats of the silver metallic. Once the Pebble Beach was completely dry we went over with 2 coats of the silver cream. It's thick and a little goes a long way!
I love the way the silver turned out on this desk! Don't be afraid to use metallic creams for more than just accent work- they make such a statement when used in bigger areas!
Enjoyed the project?
