A Study in Short

Uncategorized

This is the shortest post I have ever done.  At least in sharing furniture.

I of course forgot the before picture.  Emma gave me this adorable desk.  It looked something like this:

I was on a CeCe Caldwel’s Michigan Pine kick.  Started with my 1st layer of watered down Virignia Chestnut.

Finished with Michigan Pine.  A nice sand out with 320, 220 for distressing.  Clear Wax and Dark wax finished it off.

I love it.  Hope you do too.

 

Study – the desk, short-the post.  Get it?  My husband will be rolling his eyes when he sees this.  My humor definitely runs to the corny.

See you tomorrow for Trashy Tuesday!

Linking up with these lovely parties:

    Short and sweet – and that’s my childhood furniture which still sits in my old bedroom!

    It’s genuinely very difficult in this active life to listen news on Television, so I just use web for
    that reason, and get the latest news.
