From Dated to Designer: The Secretary Desk Refresh

This transformation takes a dated, two-tone secretary desk and turns it into a sophisticated, modern statement piece. By trading the aged pink and cream for a uniform, soft neutral, the beautiful French provincial lines of the piece truly get to shine. From Dated to Designer: The Secretary Desk Refresh This project is a perfect example of how a monochromatic color palette can completely change the "vibe" of furniture.

Fusion's Bayberry Accent Chair


After and Before ;)


As always start with a good scrub with warm soapy water and a touch of Fusion Mineral Paint TSP.

And it turned out perfect. Such a rich forest green. To deepen it even more and add a bit more durability I added  Fusion's ageing wax.



I am really liking this color and will be using it again!
