My Project

Since I can't seem to pick a paint color for the kitchen I decided to turn my itch to paint onto another project that I had.  I went garage sailing a few weeks ago and picked up this desk that someone had started to sand and given up on  (for 10 dollars). I thought it would be an easy fix some sandpaper, and some hard work..... well, turns out it was more like lots of sandpaper, and even more hard work. So I decided that just the top would be a wood finish, the rest an antiqued white. Which still took a lot of time, but in the end I think the result is better for our dark wood filled house anyways.

Project Cost = About 40.00 and I have a new desk!

The Chair is next, but I am already having a hard time deciding on fabric for the cushions!

Love it - great job Megan! Those "little" projects always end up taking so much longer than anticipated, eh?
