Thrift Store Gem and some Up-Do's

I found this little desk at a local thrift store.


I knew it was a hidden gem.  I chose to use AS Duck Egg Blue. Together with some dark wax to bring out the distressed areas, and a finish coat of clear wax, here is how it turned out:



These pictures are pretty dark.  I wanted to show you a close up of the distressing.




LOVE it!

I also gave this chair a little up-do.  Because it has the caning on it, I had a hard time finding the right color.  I ended up with a Versailles green.  Here is the before:


Here is the after!  The pictures don't really show the beauty.  Guess I need a new camera...






Thanks for looking!  Until next time.
