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. The original piece had a charming silhouette, but the mismatched pink and cream finish felt a bit scattered.

Mandala Lazy Susan


I LOVE MANDALAS... as you may have guessed by my recent post on stenciling one on my deck, this sweet geometric coffee table, this cute round coffee table, this sweet lazy susan and atop these saddle stools.


I knew this black lazy susan would look perfect with an ombre mandala stencil.

It was scrubbed up clean ready for paint.


I went with a mandala stencil from Muddaritaville Studio, the same one I used on the stool tops.

Be sure to stop by Muddaritaville with this link for 10% off your stencil order.


Using a small stencil brush I applied Fusion Mineral Paint little lamb in the center, then putty and finally picket fence on the outside

Check out this past post for stenciling tips.


However once the stencil was removed I did not care for the putty with the other 2 colors.


So I put the stencil back in place 


and blended the little lamb and picket fence to get a middle tone and stenciled it over the putty.


PERFECT!!

      thank you for the kind words, it seems I missed sharing the final step, I used clear wax to add a layer of protection over the stencil :)
