Today's post is about a Mahogany desk I did. This desk was in excellent condition.
When I brought it home I went ahead and cleaned it up. My plan was to stain the whole desk.
Here is the desk before . Plain boring??
I knew this desk will take me a good whole week to work on it. Slowly sanded down to it's bare grain. It took me 5 tiring days to sand it down.
Day 2
Day 4
On the next day, my crazy wild mind decided not to stain it after all the sanding I did. Decided to do something different. Paint it to be an Eclectic and glam style. So, I cleaned up the desk to make sure there was no dust on it and did 2 coats of primer that day.
It sat for 2 days without being touched after it was primed..
Rich blue body paint...
When I started working on the top I had a major disaster.
The whole left side and leg was spilled with another color paint. Right away I cleaned it up with damp rug and was able to take off the other color off.. But as for the floors ugh took forever to clean up!!
Rich blue body
Copper finish on top with a glossy feel
Gold Finish hardware
What do you all think??
In person it looks so glamour and exotic
Thanks for stopping by
