As with any project, I hummed and hawed about how I would refinish it. I decided that this would be a perfect opportunity to use my Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paints that I had received to try out prior to getting my shipment which should arrive within the next few weeks btw!!
At first, I didn't want to touch the chair, it was such a unique piece, but once I got working on the desk, it just didn't look like it belonged with it anymore, so I decided to chique it up!!
Here it is finished in Typewriter and Linen... I used a dark wax over the linen to give it a bit of definition. I clear waxed it first though.
I have to show you a photo of the top of the desk..when I say it's rustic, this photo will show you what I mean. I used the typewriter and also the linen as a whitewash basically to tie it in with the rest of the desk.
Here are some more photos of it. I should mention that working with the milk paints is so simple and I love the finish! Can hardly wait for my next project to be completed...
love it--bravo!
