Most of our furniture is stuff that I've picked up at yard sales or people have given to us... meaning it fits the need and is not very pleasing to the eye! This trusty old desk has been with us since the beginning of homeschooling and was showing the marks of old age.
I sanded everything and painted it white. Stenciled a J for Judson on top. It ended up looking like an F and the black paint was too harsh....so I painted it white again and...
did this. Much better!
I'm very happy with the finished product. I now have a piece of furniture that I like...the only problem is, it needs a cute chair to go with it! On second thought, I need to raid the shed. There may be a chair out there that will work! Hmmm...
Distressing detail...=)
Love it! Did you distress with a stain or just sanding? Thanks
ReplyDeleteI just sanded it. I considered using stain, but thought it looked great the way it was so decided to leave it!
