A Makeover For Frances

Just a little makeover I worked on the weekend... Oh and by the way, her name is Frances. I'm still learning how to take proper before photos... when I realized I didn't have any before photos this is what I got.

Yes, I know she's upside down, she was getting a light sanding. 

And here is the final look. I have no idea what the name of the color is, its a mistint with no name on it. Oh, and it exterior latex house paint. My guess is that it should be more durable than interior paint. 

Check out the hardware. Mr. Uncluttered is not too delighted with them, but I adore them. A little bit of modern to go with the modern color on a vintage desk.

I reeeeeeally like shape of this handle.

The distressing continues to the back of the desk.

I debated between painting or staining the top, staining won out. The top is stained Dark Walnut by Minwax. No staging for this piece, she's going up for sale.

Thanks for visiting... till next time.
