Surprise Birthday Gift for a Friend!!

I called this a "MIDNIGHT MIRACLE" because I started this yesterday afternoon for a Birthday Gift TODAY!

Having done this process before & knowing how it was going to turn out I was able to complete all the paint & artwork in just a few hours.  Now I'm waiting for the Top-Coat Varnish to dry for Transport this Afternoon!

I debated about putting the extra time & effort in the polka-dots underneath thinking no one would see them anyway ...until I took this photo from underneath looking UP!

This was an Old Childhood desk.  It now has a new life to be presented today for a Special Surprise Birthday Gift!!
A pretty surprise when drawers are opened with Dotted sides!  My signature distressed Stripe & Polka-Dot Legs!  Metallic Gold Trims the edge of the Table Top!

Decoupaged Drawer Fronts with Vintage Look Paper.  I also went through my Hardware-Morgue & found 2 Matching Antique Pulls that looked great on this piece.

A Light Breeze outside will Hopefully Dry the Varnish Quicker Today!



I found PICMONKEY.COM and am able to create neat collages of my work to post on Facebook and other places I feature my items to sell.  It's easy to use & helps organize many shots & angles of an item in ONE pic rather than having to download several.

The original small metal pulls were dull & boring with no character.  I found these vintage-look knobs which enhance the small drawers perfectly.  I gently sanded around all the curved details to highlight the beauty of all the wonderful scroll work.

I wanted to keep the inside drawers of the piece its original aged patina.  I thoroughly cleaned them & sealed in its age which was a nice finishing touch to give them a subtle shine and clean feel.
When I picked up this desk it had some stuff rattling around in the drawers.  I opened the bottom drawer to find someones personal items.. boxes of old wax matches from ITALY, and old typewriter eraser with brush, old stamps, keys, several old rulers & old, old negatives of christmas pictures with tree & children!

With a nice Sable Brush I trimmed the edges in an Old White & gently sanded to let the blue come through. 
I rubbed in a wonderful French Wax all over the piece which richened the pale dusty blue & gave the paint more dimension along with protecting the Vintage Finish.

Imagine all the old-fashioned Letter writing that went on at this desk!
