This beauty was handed down to a friend and she wanted to have it cleaned up for her 6yr old little girl!
I decided this was the perfect project for it because of all of the ridges in the roll top. What I hadn’t counted on was the amount of paint that this puppy sucked up! It was a lot of spraying of primer (that I added paint thinner to in order to thin it down for the sprayer) and then a coat of white. After all that spraying, it still had some faded spots so at that point I did a brushed on coat of white Annie Sloan paint to try and get more coverage. And then a custom mix of white and red Annie Sloan paint for the pink stripes I taped off.
And here is a fun little girl’s desk! They are going to pick out the hardware once she is all set up:)
Cute cute cute! I need to use my sprayer
Looks great! Thanks for trying the Finish Max Sprayer.
What do you do in painting the desk so that the rolltop doesn’t stick after the painting is completed?
Hi Paula! I really did my diligence and gave it the suggested time to dry and cure- especially with the poly. If it is given the time to dry properly it shouldn’t stick. I did not paint the side cut outs where it slides down though. Hope that helps!
