Frenchy Desk

Happy Friday!  I hope all of you sweet readers had a fantastic Thanksgiving!  I scored this beautiful antique desk a couple of months ago and finally got around to painting it.



The piece was in pretty rough shape with the finish chipping on the drawers and the dirt…oh man, the dirt.  {I almost forgot the before}


The pictures just do not do the gorgeous detailing justice…



I intentionally left the brush strokes instead of sanding them smooth because I wanted the piece to look aged, not perfect.


I love how this piece turned out but I secretly wanted to paint it turquoise {and definitely would’ve if I weren’t selling it}.  Maybe the next time around I’ll just go for it!
