I can't remember if I shared these desks on here or if it was only Instagram but you might remember these photos from last summer. We found these school desks for sale and I couldn't pass them up. I had been looking for something like them for years. The only problem was the intense paint. You can see the gorgeous dark wood underneath it on the green one. I was hoping to strip the paint off and bring back their natural beauty. Well, almost a year later and hours of trying to strip just one chair I have given up. That green paint penetrated layers of wood making it impossible to strip all the way. I was able to sand the tabletop part down enough so that I can keep that natural wood but the chair itself is getting a coat of white paint right after I finish typing this. Not what I originally imagined but I think it will look good nonetheless.
What are you working on? Happy creating!
