Last week, I showed you how to remove veneer from wood furniture on this desk.
Then, I used Minwax paste finishing wax for the first time and I must say, I’m in love with how easy it is to use and how smooth and soft the finish is. Seriously, I’m shocked it took me so long to try out wax! This was also my 2nd time using chalk paint and let’s just say skipping the sanding and priming step is awesome! I’m hooked!
I got the knobs from Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. I love crystal knobs and these ones had the antique bronze applique and decorative screw so I knew they’d be perfect!
I really like the look of the mismatched paint but matching style. I also picked up this French Script fabric from Hobby Lobby. I reupholstered it using this method and reattached the seat cushion.
really cute….

That is so cute! I’ve done both homemade and Annie Sloan chalk paint and prefer the ASCP. I don’t love her wax, however, it can be really streaky. So nice to hear about the Miniwax. Great job
What a gorgeous desk!! I like how the paint treatment brings out all of the textured details. Well done!
I love it! DIY chalk paint is the only thing I use! It is so much easier to use! What is your recipe?
LOVE all the detail on the desk. And great job on the transformation!
That is one beautiful desk, love the two colors that you used! I’ve used both, the ASCP and the homemade and like them both. The ASCP is smoother though!
Mallory! Its gorgeous!!!! Love it so much. I’m glad you tried the minwax. I’ve wanted try it on a table and now maybe I will! You’re such an inspiration!!
It looks great! I’ve used homemade chalk paint quite a bit lately, and I like it….I kind of hate using wax, though! I do it, but I don’t like it
Why do you need to use a wax on painted furniture? Is it for protective purposes? Just wondering. I never used it before.The desk is beautiful. Why do people give this stuff away?
Such a great makeover! The desk and chair look awesome!
Thank you for sharing your chalk paint recipe. I have used it on two items at a fraction the cost. I love the antique white color.
That looks AMAZING. What recipe did YOU use for the chalk paint? I love how it turned out… I think my favorite part is the different colors you used. Genius!
Great project!! Love those knobs
Isn’t it amazing how that desk went from looking garish and hideous to looking regal…with simply adding paint
Oh wow! This turned out so gorgeous…
And those drawer pulls are super cute… What a great find!

Thanks for sharing Very classic and unique chairs design.
It is look like a old furniture but is really very nice chairs and table.
Hey Mallory!
I love how the desk turned out! It looks great and completely different! We did something similar to an old desk. It kind of looked like yours at first but we went with a more funky orange color. Check it out: http://www.homeownershiptips.com/2013/05/02/how-to-refinish-repaint-a-desk/.
