Here is a desk I painted this past week for a local client here in Vegas. This was a pretty desk to begin with but the Victorian dark cherry wood is starting to be outdated. It has been repainted in Old White and Louis Blue Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, toned down with some Old white as well. It has new hardware too- I felt like this was a must for this desk. The top I wanted to leave wood, as it had an amazing wood pattern and I didn't want to cover it. But this desk wasn't going down without a fight. I think I had to strip it 3 times before I could even touch the shiny finish on top. I stained it with Minwax English Chestnut and the top is protected with wipe-on polyurethane.

It looks great. I have one that I need to do the same thing to. I like the way you edged the top. Diana

Love that you left the top unpainted. It looks fabulous and it's exactly the type of desk I am on a quest to find for my office/studio makeover. After seeing yours, now I am really anxious to find it. Happy Wednesday
