Now, I realize that this desk was in great condition. I did hesitate on if I should paint it or not, but ultimately, I decided it needed a little update. Just a little blue paint is all! Normally, I shy away from bolder colors, but I've done a lot of white and gray pieces recently, so I needed something different.
So would you have painted it or left as is?

ReplyDeleteI'm generally not a fan of painting furniture but the blue you picked really makes the gorgeous desk top show to its best advantageous. Visiting from Shabby Nest.
