My girls were on Spring Break last week so we decided to spend a couple of nights in Lancaster, PA. It was so beautiful there....farmlands, open fields and the Amish. Amazing how they live and cook :) While trying to find the Strasburg Railroad....yes, we are tourists and will pay to do touristy things, we pass by a Goodwill. This of course takes precedence over the tourist trap thing. Let me tell ya, GW there was no tourist trap. I grabbed this as my souvenir.
We eventually found our way to our destination...

I painted my souvenir a mix of Paris Gray CP and some blue and white oops paint. Who said ya can't mix latex and CP??? It went on just like CP and saved me a lot of money. Then I glazed it in charcoal. Sprayed the pulls flat black and dry brushed them in silver. Lined the drawers and cabinets in some pretty fabric and I am loving my souvenir :)

LOve this desk, all the little cubbys, love the treatment you did, great job!
I stumbled upon your blog. Which I just love. I am learning how to do the "whole glazing thing," What glaze do you use? For my first glaze I used a clear glaze and mixed it with a stain, but that was disastrous! It dried almost immediately after applying it. So I had to re-sand and re-paint. Do you have any tips?
