White Desk Restyle 16 Throughout high school, college and after in the real world, I brought a small Target desk with me to use. It was a dark wood, very cute and I loved that it was great for small apartment spaces.

Desk makeover, girl’s desk, white desk, peekaboo desk It’s funny (not funny haha, but funny strange) that two of my favourite people on the planet are going through a divorce/separation at the same time I am. It’s meant that I’ve had shoulder’s to cry on and hopefully I’ve given mine a bit in return. My one friend was setting up her new home and realized that this desk just wasn’t going to make the cut. I have no idea why? Clearly this desk has been thoroughly loved: I

Dusky Blue Desk 11 A cute little writing desk gets a beautiful makeover. Have any of you every tried Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk paint? This sweet little desk is the first of many projects that will be painted with that awesome powdered paint! We hadn’t tried it before because we really liked the convenience of other paints (that were

Sweetie Jane- Sweet Pickins Milk Paint Pint Sweet Pickins Milk Paint is a true milk paint which comes in a powder form. Our Milk Paint is environmentally safe, non-toxic and is food safe. There is a slight milky odor when it is applied, but it is completely odorless when dry. Our milk paint is 100% VOC free and is made with all natural earth materials. – To make the paint, you simply mix the powder with warm water. How far the paint goes will depend upon your painting technique, how thick/thin you mix the paint, how many coats you do and the contrast between the color your are painting compared to the piece your are painting.2 oz. sample – covers approx 12 sq ft.6 oz. pint – covers approx 36 sq ft.12 oz. quart – covers approx 72 sq ft. – Add Extra Bond when painting over a nonporous or previously finished/painted piece of furniture. The Extra – Bond will ensure adhesion and give you better control over chipping. I highly recommend to always have the Extra Bond on hand when using milk paint. Milk paint is known for its unpredictability when not using the Extra Bond. – Because milk paint comes in a powder form, you can control how thick/thin you mix the paint. You can use it as you would regular paint, thinner for a wash/stain or thicker to create texture.– Milk Paint can naturally chip or crackle when applied over some existing finishes. This can result in an authentic look reminiscent of a chippy/aged/timeworn piece of furniture.– Sweet Pickins Milk Paint colors can be mixed together to achieve your own custom colors. You can also add white to lighten or black to darken. Remember to keep your ratios if you want to recreate the color!– Sweet Pickins Milk Paint can be top coated with any available product on the market, we have several options for you here! To protect milk paint from water spots and make it easier to clean, it must be top coated.– Many variations in color and texture naturally occur on milk painted pieces and this is completely normal. These unique variations which only come with true milk paint, add depth and dimension to each project.– You can use the same techniques for distressing and glazing milk paint as you would any other paint. Don’t be afraid to experiment!Full instructions on how to use our paint are included in packaging.**Please contact if item you are wanting to purchase is out of stock

A refinished gray executive style desk. Top refinished wood, base refinished with Driftwood Gray Milk Paint. Before and After. Get the full tutorial here! #diy #furniture #makeover Hello friends! Because I know you love a good before and after just like I do, I have a quick makeover post for you today. This executive desk makeover did not disappoint! Our church is moving to a permanent location, so along with the move comes the need for lots of furniture. I offered to help however I can, so our pastor said the first thing he needed was a desk. Preferably a big executive desk, perfect for a few chairs on the other side. I remembered seeing this old beat up desk at a consignment store, and it was still there!

A Mid Century Dixie campaign desk gets a fresh new look with General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint. #Paintedfurniture #furnituremakeovers #beforeandafter #Milkpaint #bluefurniture #furnitureideas #diyfurnituremakoevers #generalfinishes A Mid-Century Dixie campaign desk gets a fresh new look with General Finishes Coastal Blue Milk Paint. Over 2 years ago I was lucky enough to come across a Mid-Century Dixie campaign desk at my local Goodwill. I was pretty excited since it’s not too often that you come across campaign style pieces at thrift stores. At the time, I had no idea where I was going to put it or what I was going to do with it, but I knew I had to have it. Well, here we are over two years later and I FINALLY got motivated to give this little desk an update. Sadly, I still don’t have space for it in my own home, but it will be going to Sweet Clover where I hope it will find a new home. I strayed from my normal go-to paint colors of black, white and gray and chose my new favorite blue, General Finishes Coastal Blue. This color is so pretty and a beautiful contrast to the original aged brass hardware. SUPPLIES USED TO PAINT MID-CENTURY CAMPAIGN DESK Affiliate links have been used. – General Finishes Coastal Blue milk paint – Shellac Primer – Minwax stain pencil – Purdy paint brush – Wood Filler – Foam brush – Ryobi Corner Cat sander – 80 grit sandpaper – 120 grit sanding block – Simple Green – Paper towels – Clean rag – Finishing wax Most campaign style pieces are covered with a thin layer of veneer and this piece was no different. I would have loved to keep it in its original condition, but there was too much damage. There were deep scratches on the top and chips and knicks in the veneer that needed to be repaired. I repaired all the knicks and chips using wood filler then gave the entire dresser a good sanding using my Ryobi Corner Cat sander and 80 grit sandpaper. A few of the chips and gashes were pretty deep, so it did take a few layers of wood filler and sanding before getting everything smooth. Once all the damage was repaired, I wiped the desk down using Simple Green before giving it a coat of my favorite primer. I was worried I would damage the original hardware if I tried to remove it, so I left it on and was super careful when painting. After the primer was dry I added two coats of General Finishes Coastal blue then sealed the paint with finishing wax. I really wanted to keep the piece solid, but with all drawers and hard lines I ended up having to distress it a bit. I wasn’t thrilled with the white showing through, so I sanded as much as I could down to the wood then used a stain pencil around the edges. I blended the stain into the paint then sealed it again with another layer of wax. I love, love, love how this desk turned out. The contrast of the blue and gold is such a beautiful combination and I think it’s a great piece that could fit multiple design styles. I styled the desk using a few new finds that will also be making their way to Sweet Clover. The vintage books are some of my favorites that I’ve collected over the years so I won’t be selling those, but the brass duck bookends (find similar ones HERE) will be headed to Sweet Colver. I also found an old Westclox clock and two vintage marmalade crocks at a local estate sale. The crocks are so versatile and perfect for keeping pencils and other desk items organized. (You can find similar ones HERE) Of course, I hope this beautifully painted campaign desk sells, but I can’t say that I’ll be sad if it doesn’t.
