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.

Another Aged Wood Accelerator Growth Ruler


Another aged wood growth ruler was custom ordered so thought I would share again the process used to create it.


For this growth ruler I chose Varathane's aged wood accelerator. It was used in the previous growth ruler post. I also did one using the the weathered wood accelerator too.


Varathane's aged wood accelerator was brushed on both sides in two coats letting dry well between.


Then using Muddaritaville Studio growth ruler stencil, Rustoleum's Chalked ultra matte paint in linen white was stenciled on. both sides were sealed with Varathane's diamond wood finish clear top coat in semi gloss. Three coats were applied for the perfect finish.

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


It is now proudly displayed in a jungle theme nursery, thanks for your order Kaylin.

Here is a video of yet another one I did but adding a white wash over the whole ruler then more varathane to seal
