Antique Desk & A FEATURE!

First of all, please head over to reFresh reStyle and check out my feature over there.  It is part of the new series, Newbie Spotlight Of The Week.  Some amazing blogs got together and decided to feature Newbies every week.  The other blogs that participate in this event are:  Debbiedoo's, Fox Hollow Cottage, Random Thoughts, and Simply Klassic Home.


I picked up this super cute antique desk off of Craigslist....and yes, that amazing vintage typewriter came with it : )  The top was trashed, but the rest of it seemed to be in great shape.  I sanded the top and stained it using Minwax Dark Walnut.  I sanded the rest of the desk down and painted with ASCP Paris Grey.  I then distressed and waxed using both AS clear and dark waxes.  I cleaned the original hardware and sealed the top with a clear poly.  Please excuse the "after" photos....I'm in the middle of moving and loading my booth and have no time to haul it inside and stage it...plus my hubby is out of town!!
