I am not usually a brown painter, to get a rich brown I usually go with stain but
Fusion Mineral Paint has a color called chocolate that looked yummy. I chose to try it on this solid maple desk.
The desk was given a good cleaning inside and out with
TSP alternative in warm water.
I just bought some
painters pyramids and love them for lifting a project off the ground with easy access to the base all around. Now it is time to paint with the luscious
Fusion Mineral Paint chocolate color in 2 coats.
After the first coat, I wet distressed the edges to give some added character to the solid paint color
I chose new silver brushed stainless steel pulls and knobs from
D Lawless Hardware, perfect
And because it is a desk that will get lots of use on the top I added 3 coats of
Fusion Mineral Paint with a wet rag to complete the transformation ...
