Remember this desk from my room redo post?
(and the blue walls?!)
Here's the desk redone with the new wall color behind,.
I used Homestead Resort Olive from Lowes for the desk
base color, sanded it and then antiqued it with acrylic
Burnt Sienna to give it more of an aged look.
Question: does anyone know why it still feels
a little tacky after 3 days?
This is my first furniture painting project so
I may have done something wrong.
The wall color is also from Lowes-
Olive White
By the way the predrilled holes were 4 inches apart
for the drawer pulls and there are NO 4 " pulls
to be had so I resorted to 2 knobs per drawer,
not exactly what I wanted...but...
I wasn't about to special order any for
an old desk that will be in a spare room!
