Desk is finished!

 I gave you a sneak peek of the desk that I was working on in my last post. I'm finished!

This is what the desk looked like before:

White french provincial dresser

I removed all the hardware and stripped several layers of paint from them.
I decided to actually leave them the original gold.

I sanded, primed and painted the desk a pretty shade of grey. I painted the inside of the drawers white.

Then I taped an outline on top of the desk and painted that with gold liquid leaf.

And here it is:

Laura Ashley Drawer Liner

I lined the drawers with Laura Ashley Drawer Liner that I found at TJ Maxx. It looks black in the picture but is actually a pretty dark grey.

I'm really happy with the outcome, don't you think so? And now it is looking for a good home ;)

Talk to you soon fellow webbers und guten Tag.

  5. This turned out so pretty! I just finished painting a similar style desk for my sister in law. We went black and silver though. The grey and gold is really nice, too, though.
