Thank you for not giving up on me while I was off the blog. It is sincerely appreciated. Some of you may remember that I was to have surgery to repair an aneurysm in my head a few weeks ago. That morning the surgeon told me that there was a better device to use that had just been approved by the FDA. The hospital didn't have any so one would have to be ordered. I chose to go with the better one so the i.v.'s were removed, the black x's were washed off and Chris and I went home. We were not happy but that is water under the bridge. The procedure is scheduled for 10/28 and I am not coming home until it is fixed.
On now to what I have just started working on. I was told it was a "project" desk. It is taller that a child's desk and designed a bit differently than a student's desk. I have decided to pair it with a shorter stool so there will be no problem sitting at it.
These are the pieces before I started working on them. They do not look too bad from a distance but they had about 4 layers of paint each.
This picture shows what the top looked like after applying Strypeze 2 times. It took 4 applications!
This is the desk with one coat of Old White chalk paint and the beginning of the Paris Grey coat.
Here is the stool with a coat of Old White and the beginning of Paris Grey.
The intention is to distress and glaze the pieces. Before the protective layer is applied I will do a transfer of either a vintage label or manual typewriter. Time will tell.
Take care, Jeanne
