I purchased this very pretty desk from a friend….I loved the shape and style and the pulls were awesome.
I just wasn’t so sure about all the heavy wood grain going in so many different directions.
I thought that strange.
I thought this would be a perfect painting project!
I was craving color so I chose to go with a bold red from Valspar called Rum Runner.
It was just the right color for this beauty.
I painted a gazillion coats (translated that means about 4) as when you work with red, you are really WORKING with RED.
I think the end result was worth it though!
I sealed this piece up with Country Chic‘s Natural Wax and it gave it such a smooth sheen – she is just lovely!
Some days it’s good to feel red.

Your pieces just get better and better! I’m impressed that with small children you can get so many fabulous pieces done! I have 2 in school and a mother who is ill. I struggle to finish pieces. It’s disheartening…
