A desk makeover.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
Rrefinishing a stained Pottery Barn desk with bright white paint.
I used Benjamin Moore soft chamois high gloss enamel:
A school friend had this Pottery Barn desk in rustic chestnut finish, previously in her son’s bedroom:
But she recently moved to a new home and wanted to use the desk in her daughter’s bedroom.
I stripped, primed and painted it to match her other bedroom furniture pieces.
Here’s how I refinished the desk:
1. Strip off finish with Kwik Strip stripper:
Then sand, sand, sand.
All stripped:
2. Prime with Zinsser cover stain oil based primer.
Sand.
Paint two coats BM soft chamois high gloss enamel in
(Color to match existing bedroom furniture.)
I used a combination of brush, smaller roller and sprayer, sanding in between coats.
Amazing results, it's a much prettier desk now! I bet the little girl is going to love it!
Gorgeous! But what a lot of work!
That looks beautiful! nice work!
that looks awesome- so sleek and it looks like it would help with organization!
I love it painted! You did a great job on it.
