Desk is FINALLY done!

Chase very graciously allowed me to pick up this vintage writer's desk in Flagstaff back in September. I really wanted to refinish it as I loved the beautiful structure and brass pulls.

This is the "before shot," and yes we did manage to fit it in Chase's car -but not without difficulty...or an audience.

Chase sanded it down for me.

After priming it and painting it with several layers of "heirloom white," I began to distress it with a sander, on the edges.

After several attempts at a polycryclic finish, I just sanded it off and used a wax

All finished! Had to move the desk to another wall to make room for the Christmas tree. I prefer the white desk against a brown wall, though.

The wooden thing originally had 3 hooks and a mirror attached to it. Chase took off the mirror and hooks for me and sanded it down. Then I stained it with a walnut stain. I love the authentic look to the wood that the stain gave to it. And the silver pitcher is a gift from Chase:)
