Rustic Painted Desk

When I got this desk I wasn't sure how I was going to paint it. I new I wanted to stick to neutrals and I wanted to do more than one color. I wanted to keep the hardware because I they go very well and I love the noise it makes when you grab it and let go of it, I know it's a weird thing to like but just I can't explain it.
And here is the desk in it's new painted glory. I sanded it and painted it grey with thick black and white stripes over the bottom drawers. I then sanded a whole lot to give it a rustic farmhouse look. I used several coats of poly and reattached the original hardware.
The inside of the drawers got some modern contact paper. I love doing a little something in the inside, I know a lot of people don't see it but it's a little happy moment when you open the drawer and see a little something fun in the inside.
