About 2 months ago when I bought my Pfaff, I inherited an old sewing desk that came with it.
At first I had no idea what to do with it. This was before my hours of blog browsing! Then I realized what I could try to do with the sewing desk, and the fun started!
Here is the desk before:
Then I painted it off-white.
I also had this type of glaze that I tried.
In the end, it turned out like this:
It was okay, but I wasn't crazy over it. It just didn't look like the right distressed glazed look like the other super-creative girls out there did.
But I wasn't using the right glaze anyways!
So when my 3 year old took a sharpie marker to the top... I didn't get that mad.
It made me try something else...
Distressed blue. I actually mixed a darker blue with a green. Mistints from the Benjamin Moore shop in town, of course! Freeeeeeeeeee!
Something was verrrry interesting.
This is a candle mat and candle I've made for one of my son's teachers for the end of school.
I should actually be making another one right now so I need to stop blogging.
And to finish it off.
And there is my robin egg blue sewing desk!
Should I keep it this way? Or try something else?
Thanks for looking!
Love it! I wouldn't change a thing!!
