I was debating whether to show the before or the after first. The after won out.
I stood before the sanded and prepped table, squinting my eyes, trying to visualize different colors. Black? Cream? Sanding, no sanding?
I had a half gallon of colonial red and gave it a try. Then I sanded it and rubbed on a walnut stain. It reminds me of an old teacher's desk. It even has a pencil holder along the top of the desk.
Here is the before. I had started to sand the top when I remembered to take a photo for the before shot. The top had decals as well.
The shop I sell my furniture at, The Laughing Daisy in Kimberly, Idaho, is closed until Monday. I have a porch full of projects and I am hoping to have a truck full to take.
An egg blue secretary desk. It was white. I sanded it a bit, painted, sanded more and finished with a walnut stain. The hardware was nice and didnt change it
