"D" is for Desk #4

Paint: desk refinished

This Pottery Barn desk went from dark to light:

I used Benjamin Moore soft chamois high gloss enamel:

A school friend had this Pottery Barn desk in rustic chestnut finish, previously in her son's bedroom:

But she recently moved to a new home and wanted to use the desk in her daughter's bedroom.
I stripped, primed and painted it to match her other bedroom furniture pieces.

Here's how I refinished the desk:

1. Strip off finish with Kwik Strip stripper:

Then sand, sand, sand.

All stripped:

2. Prime with Zinsser cover stain oil based primer.

Sand.

Paint two coats BM soft chamois high gloss enamel in 

(Color to match existing bedroom furniture.)

I used a combination of brush, smaller roller and sprayer, sanding in between coats.
