Walnut and Driftwood Desk

I love what this blogger does with painted furniture.

I picked up this vintage desk several months ago with the idea that I would refinish it for my office. I wanted a large desk with plenty of storage and this desk fit the bill. It was posted on Craigslist and the woman selling it was a kindred spirit. She also refinishes furniture, but was trying to downsize some of her inventory because she was moving. We chatted for a long while about our favorite painting products and she showed me several great pieces she was planning to refinish. Lucky me, she wanted to part with this vintage desk.

I don’t actually have a true before photo, but I do have these “in process” photos which show the desk in pieces in my shop. I took the whole thing apart and it was much easier to work on that way.
