Lacquered-Like Turquoise Desk Project


Patience is not one of my virtues, particularly when it comes to projects.  I get too hyper and want instant gratification.  This time, I really tried to take the advice of the helpful Sherwin-Williams man and painted very thin coats of the oil-based paint.  I'm glad my Type-A side overtook my impatient side.

You can start to see how shiny the paint turned out (below).  For anyone wanting to lacquer that doesn't have a commercial sprayer, I highly recommend this as an affordable alternative that gives you the same effect.

I used my trusty gold leaf paint in "classic gold" for this project.  It is a thin paint that goes on so nicely and dries very fast.

Tomorrow is my last day at McKinney.  This girl is probably going to be crying.  What a great ride it's been!  Thank God I'll get to see these fantastic people lots with my new job. :)

This weekend I have my work cut out for me -- what in the world to do with almost 5 years of work?!

 Accessorizing the desk to come soon!

XO,
