I originally bought this desk for myself, when I got it home and measured it for the area I wanted it to go in…it wouldn't fit. It has sat and sat in my garage as I tired and tired to find a place for it and I failed. I am so torn about selling this piece. I LOVE it! My mom even said it was her FAVORITE piece yet, and she doesn't always love painted furniture.

I guess I can't put it off any longer…so here she is….isn't she BEAUTIFUL!!!

Here is a reminder of what it looked like before….

Here is the AFTER!!

I went back and forth on how to paint this piece. I thought I would do a fun color on it…..but I just kept going back to making it shabby and elegant. It is no secret I love french legs, after all look at them, they are beautiful!

I added this wood appliqué and I love how it looks on this desk with those beautiful knobs and the slight shine from the stain top coat!

I slightly distressed everywhere and very lightly glazed to accent the details without taking away from them!

These drawers were very colorful inside so I added a few stripes and painted the whole drawer! (the middle drawer opens too, it just doesn't have stripes on it)
