Provence Blue Desk
When I bought this desk at an estate sale it was covered in nick knacks so after I bought it and they took everything off of it I realized the top had faux leather, and not pretty faux leather either. It was damaged and discolored, so now my dilemma begins, what to do what to do! If I dig out the faux leather then I end up with an uneven surface. To replace it with real leather made for desks it was going to be too much money. I decided that since chalk paint adheres to anything why not faux leather?

The faux leather top ain't looking so good, and neither is the finish on the desk.
A couple coats of Annie Sloan's Provence blue
Used a wall stencil for the first layer of detail
Used a little brushes to add hand painted detail to the stenciled parts to make it look softer and makes it look like it has highlights.
Taped off and ready for a transformation!
Couple layers of grey and then more painted details
I added some whitewash details to look a little like a lime wash.
