Desk Re-Redone

I posted here back in June that I repainted a desk of ours.
Well, I've re-redone that desk and you would understand if you took a look at that post.

Blagh!

We all make mistakes and my mistake that day was bad taste.
So I re-attacked the poor thing and made it pretty.
Or at least, prettier.

First step: clear it all out (organize it later)

This desk is a heavy lifter in our house. 

Everything's in here. 

Now for the actual painting...

A coat of primer to cover up this awful black. 

It would have been ok if I had taken more care applying it. 

But I just wanted it done.

It ended up really streaky and got this sandpaper texture in some areas.

Not attractive.

Next: 2 coats of Dutchboy's Stonewall Jackson.

It's a true neutral gray. 

I also painted this dresser in that same color. 

While the final coat was drying, I took the time to get rid of old bits

and organize the essential bits. 

Ahhhh....

That's better.
