Waterfall Desk

A couple weeks ago I posted two waterfall desks found at the thrift shop.  The larger one looked like this ~

Terrible pic, I know!  I've got so much furniture in the garage I had to climb over and on top of pieces just to get a shot of the desk! :)

After sanding, I drug the desk inside to be primed since it's SO cold here!  Maya really wanted to help!  Don't worry, we were using the Kilz Clean Start 0 VOC primer for this project! :)

 I decided to finish up the last of my turquoise paint.  There was just enough!  I know,  SOOO 2010! :)

I did add a tiny bit of a seafoam color, too, just to tone down the turquoise a little.

I used my little roller that has been hanging out in the fridge since before Christmas (just wrapped in a sandwich bag and a plastic sack).

After two coats of the turquoise I glazed with RL black~ (of course!)

I finished it off with two coats of Minwax Wipe-On Poly.

The inside of the drawers were painted the same color, and then lined with my favorite wrapping paper from Hob Lob~

Mod Podge tips here.

The seriously ugly wooden pulls were replaced with these cuties from HL (1/2 price!)~

I had to drill 21 new holes for these babies.  My husband bought me my very own set of drill bits.  They are just for wood and have a tip that digs into the wood just a little so that the bit doesn't walk around when drilling~

Pretty cool!

The screws needed primed and sprayed black.  My assistant, Maya, put the screws in styrofoam to make spraying a cinch!

Let's have a look at the before~

Here's the desk, all  fancied up~
