SUPPLIES
- water container
- palette or plastic plate
- sandpaper
- paintbrush
- small craft brush
- clean cloth
- rolltop desk
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the desk by removing drawers and gently sanding surfaces. Wipe away the grit and sanding sawdust residue. (If there is a chair, do the same to the chair.)
- Paint the desk's outside surface with Grey and then wipe excess off with a dry rag and/or brush until the desired look is achieved. Repeat if necessary. Using White, dry-brush from the outside in creating an ombre effect. Wipe excess away as necessary using the dry rag and/or brush.
- For the desk inside, paint the surface Pink using the craft brush and wipe off the excess using a dry rag and/or brush. Paint the center of the inside with White, working the paint out to the edges using a dry rag and/or brush and making the furthest edge the most pink.
- Repeat the step above for the chair. (See photo for color placement.) Allow to dry and highlight and touch-up paint, where needed.
