You do a drive through the day before and hope you spot a “I have to have that NOW” piece!
Such was the case with this piece.
Can you blame me? Oh, I see I was so excited, I forgot to take pictures before I took off the hardware and started to clean off the … uummm…. grime….., yeah, that is a safe word for what may have been on this desk.
She sure had some sexy legs though.. just a little dirty! However, I knew that it was nothing that a good scrub and a fresh coat of paint couldn’t cure.
Hmmm, I am thinking this beauty to be has much more character than one color of paint would show. Time to kick it up a notch!
Ahhh, getting better, but now she needs a bit of sparkle….and I need my spectacles… This is a first for me….
Now to bring out some of her hidden character..
And add a faux marbled top…
She moves into a temporary home.
If you are near Bellville, TX, this piece can be found at Nothing Ordinary Antiques, but not for long!
What treasures are you working on?
Happy Painting!
