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!
