Aubusson Blue Desk

This desk was a piece from a huge french bedroom set I found a while back.  I did this one a different color from the others partly because I didn't know how anyone could squeeze that whole set into one bedroom and after painting four other pieces in Provence, I was ready for a change!

Check out that gold!!! :)

The desk and chair got 2 coats of Aubusson Blue CP. 

Hey, there, Zach's Lego Man! :)

I painted the little trim pieces in Old White.

Since this piece was not wood, and in fact, had plastic fronts on the drawers, I really tried my best to not distress too much.  It's one of my weaknessnes, though! :)

I applied the dark wax directly onto the paint. 

I usually let the wax dry about a day, then buff it.

I lined the drawers and covered that gold cushion on the chair with some fun, bright fabric. 

Aubusson is really dark, so this really livened things up!
