Finishing a Project….

A few years ago I decided to give a facelift to an antique desk. Wherever I have lived this sweet little desk had a place to shine. Now I want it to be a part of our guest room, and in it’s current state it just does not work anymore. I started to work on this a few years ago, and then in the hustle and bustle of life, it got put in the basement….awaiting my return. I have the paint, new fabric..nothing can stop me now!

Please join me in my journey as I change this cute antique desk into a modern piece of furniture!

Antique desk with a needlepoint insert.

Lots of little compartments inside.

First a coat of white primer. I prefer Kilz Primer. The coverage is great!

The first coat of orange on the inside.

Another coat of primer, done.
