The 60s and 70s had great lines provencio Furniture solid wood dovetail drawers this is the kind of furniture that lasts forever but I don't like just would so I decided to paint this lovely piece at first I had this and I want to because I wanted to stick then I primed it black and you don't have to prime it black but I decided to because when I de-stress it I want the black to come through then I decided to chalk paint light gray it's a beautiful color it only took one coat but if you like you can put on a second coat it doesn't really matter then get out the Sandpaper again in lightly distress it to your desire and look at this beautiful piece
What materials did I use well first I stay on a Facebook site and I'm always looking for furniture when I saw this desk come up for $40 I couldn't believe my eyes it is a stunning gorgeous piece sandpaper primer chalk paint and polyurethane sealer is all you need I have all these things lying around the house
Make sure you let it dry and send to your desire the more sanding you want or Less ending the drawer handles I left White they originally were gold I distress them as well
