Before & After: Desk

I've been busy refinishing a ton of furniture lately for my craft room and I thought I would share some before and afters.  First is the desk, this as actually a kitchen table that i decided would work perfect for a craft desk.

Before

During:

I started the glazing process with my black tinted Ralph Lauren glaze and I was shocked at how much it stuck to the paint. I didn't want it to look too distressed to I ended up using just the tiniest bit and shaded all the nooks and crannies.

After:

I absolutely LOVE the way she turned out!  I borrowed a design template from designer Brooke over at All Things Thrifty (one of my favorite blogs that I follow), you can find that template here.  I traced it, scanned it and had it blown up to the size I needed.  Then I just traced it onto my table and free handed the painting.  Then I headed over to Hobby Lobby to find those lovely little jewel knobs.

More to come on my other furniture makeovers soon!
