This is how well my family knows me.
Two of our nephews gave me gift card to Habitat Restore as Christmas gifts. Today I would like to share with ya’ll what I did with one of those gift cards.
This antique writing desk has been sitting in The Hell Hole for several months while I mulled over all of the colors in the spectrum. I really took my time with this one. To me it is a very special piece and I wanted to do it justice or not touch it all.
Kinda like her Little Black Dress, huh?
I used the new to me flat black paint that I used on those antique side table that I refinished last week, Krylon Chalkboard paint. It goes on like butter, self primes and self levels so no brush marks and it dries fast but not too fast if that makes any sense. In my humble opinion it is the perfect black for painting furniture.
The curves on this thing are amazing.
Ant time I’m refinishing a piece I really try to keep the original hardware if I can . These antique brass pulls work really well with the flat black finish.
I think she is ready for the party 🙂
Have a great week ya’ll!

I would have a tough time letting that one go, Paige.
I know Grace! This one is gonna hurt. Alas my shop is almost empty so it has to go.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you so much Beverly ❤️
It is perfection! Just lovely. I wish I did not live hundreds of miles away — I would snap it up in a second. : )
Thank you for those kind works Kim ❤️
Hi Paige! Absolutely beautiful! Your work is my main inspiration! How did you fix that huge place where the veneer was missing on the front? It looks perfect in your after photos! Thank you for all the time you put into enriching stranger’s lives with your blog!
Leah you are always so kind to me! Thank you! As for that broken area of veneer I used my sander vary carefully and sanded it down slowly until it was much less noticeable.
Gorgeous, Paige! What a lovely job you did, and the black and finish is perfect! Hope we get to see you at Tuesday Turn About! We’ve missed you! 😉
