Ta Da!!! Finito. Sort of.

Remember in my last post where i talked about my funky desk; my little ugly duckling? Well, it's done. Aesthetically anyways. I still have to Mod Podge the innards. I have an aqua and gold french Medallions material that will be put into the drawers, so once that part is complete as well, i'll let you in for a peek.

Here is the fantastic transformation from dull and yucky, to lush and elegant!

Before:

took some sweat;

I sanded

I primed x 2

I re-sanded any nicks in the paint

I painted on two thick coats of a pure white semi gloss (body)

I painted on three thick coats of a cottage black semi gloss (top surface)

I poly'd the entire body, including the damask wooden knob x 2

And ended up with a lovely and elegant piece of furniture...

After:

I ordered a pretty black and white wooden damask knob

And re-applied the original hardware, though much more noticeable this time around
