This was an awesome find at a garage sale.
It is also another trip into Chalk Paint Land. I am really pleased with the way it sands off. It looks so nice.
Its pretty straight forward paint job. I painted it Anne Slones Antique White Paint, sanded it off with a sponge block sander very gently. I say gently because it comes off really easy compared to the latex that I have been used to using, so be careful. I also changed out the handles to knobs that I got on sale at Restoration Hardware, which I think made the desk look much more dainty.
I put this in the store and it was a HOT item and sold in two days. We of course are looking for more like it but they are hard to find.
Aren't I fancy, I figured out how to add my blog name onto the photo!
Hope you all have a great week!
