How did you get the paint to look like this? I am redoing a secretaries desk for my girls bedroom and I would like it to look rustic. Thanks
I've really enjoyed how you've revamped all the pieces especially this one! I agree... yellow and grey is a fabulous combo. :)
i just got lucky anonymous- the top had been painted and abused for so long there was a lot of texture even after i used the belt sander. i applied two coats of paint but didn't try to hit inside the holes and dents (leaving some dark spots). but my suggestion for a look like this would be to do a coat or two of yellow, let it dry, and then hit it again with watered down grey acrylic paint. keep a cloth handy to wipe the grey off in places and you'll have a lovely new finish.
Thanks so much for the advice :) Just one more question did you use a latex or acrylic yellow for your base coat?
latex, but i bet acrylic would be fine.
Beautiful and very inspiring thanks for all the how to's
I am so in love with this piece. I'm picking up a low dresser from someone on Craig's list tomorrow and would love to do something like this to it and use it as a sideboard. How did you do the flowers on it? Your work is so inspiring...
