This desk was originally my great aunt's sewing desk. After 47 years it's been passed down to me. I decided to paint it blue with a chalkboard paint top. I antiqued it using my little sander and some Minwax Red Mahogany stain. I spray painted the drawer pulls to update them and finished everything with Minwax Furniture Wax on the blue and chalk on the chalkboard finish. Now I just need to get up and sew.
