LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT MY OWN YARD SALE european finished desk

She creeped into my dreams last night so first thing this morning I checked my work schedule

finding it was going to be light so away I went to rescue her from the left overs in the yard sale tent.

Some of you know we hosted a fairly good and definetly fun yard sale this past weekend,

in the RAIN!

We met lots of great ppl and some of my followers.

Leigh and George got to chat extensively about both their european trip tours.

Leigh is such a nice lady and is looking for antique wood corbels.

Does anyone local have suggestions?

Victoria and Pursie stopped in with family. I got to have a great chat and share some other

projects going on inside.

Sis and KC were a big help especially after we all attended a spa party Friday night

that ran quite late for our early Saturday morning start.

Now to the project at hand.

She was already painted white but tired and chipping exposing the cream color

painted underneath.

I spent the beautiful sunny day hand sanding all the details and belt sanding the top

down to bare wood to take the walnut stain.

New perfect hardware, and a walnut stain wash all over the body really finish this piece off.

BUT WAIT!

its not really finished till it gets a beautiful sprayed clear coat tomorrow.

UPDATE:

the finished piece with kewl drawer liners can be seen here

A LITTLE BIT OF WILD INSIDE european desk finished

You might recall the other day I showed you this little desk vanity I saved from our yard sale.

Notice the angle the above photo was taken has lined up the tree lines on both sides.

Almost like magic, you could step right thru into another world.

WONDERLAND or maybe NARNIA?

So in keeping with the wild side of fantasy,

she got some fun zebra, snake skin, and polka dot drawer liners.
This was a trio of wrapping paper I found at HomeSense last year.

The whole piece received 3 sprayed clear coats outside with the spray gun.

This created the rougher textured surface I want to match the rustic feel on the body.

Then the top surface got an additional 2 clear coats brushed on to finish it.

She turned out perfect, better then I could have imagined.

She sold to a great couple with in hours of advertising.

If you missed the *before* you can see it and a few more pics here.
