Lazarnick Collection

So, you might remember that I found this desk at Goodwill last week for $19.99!

I decided to keep it and refurbish it for my SheShed.  This means giving it a total makeover!  

The inside of my SheShed has a lot of whites, grays, golds and flashes of pink...so I decided to refinish the desk with those colors in mind. First, I’ll be painting the desk drawer pink...this pink...

Rust-oleum Berry Pink!  (You may remember this from some of my previous projects.)

Next, I plan to paint the desk itself white...but not with spray paint.  I know....wha?...I always use spray paint. But sometimes with spray paint there can be a lot of dripping...especially when painting desk legs.  So I’m going to use this can of white paint and a roller....

And that’s where we’re starting....

I’ll be adding some gold trim later, but for now, I’m going to start by painting over the stripes that the previous owner put on the desk...

Kinda like this...

Before I painted over the stripes, I sanded them down a little (with a hand-held sandpaper block) and then did an initial coat over them...pink on the drawer, white on the desk.
