I did it, I finished my last big piece of furniture that's been sitting in the garage. None to soon either as we are expected to get snow real soon. Even those cities to the south of us have had their first snowfall and yet today was a beautiful 11C and so I spray painted while the kids played on the play set in the backyard.
This secretary's desk was my last big project to finish.
Love the inside.
So here it was before
and this is it after
with a little pop of colour on the pulls and the inside
I added detail to the flat drawer fronts with paintable wall paper and glazed the details
So yucky looking here, but.....
I love how it just makes everything POP
and a little turquoise is always lovely
Beautiful and completed
(two of my favorite words)

Wallpaper - genius!
ReplyDeleteI'd say the after picture is a slight improvement from the before - Ah, just kidding. The transformation is nothing short of incredible!
Love the pop of color on the handles especially, I am about to redo a dresser for my daughter and I think I may follow the same lines you did! What kind of glaze did you use and was it difficult on wallpaper? (scrapmebaby@shaw.ca)
ReplyDeleteWow! Love... love... love this!!
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is stunning, the wallpaper added just the right touch. I thought it was wood details, wow!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is the prettiest thing I've seen in makeovers in a long time! Wowza! Take a bow!
ReplyDeleteI'm your newest follower. Please stop by and say hi.
Loooove that!! Thanks for auditioning for OMTWI!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that now that I see the picture larger that before I didn't notice that it didn't have the details before. Super smart to use the wallpaper. Then I saw my previous comment on this post -

Haha. I'm dumb.
