House of Miniatures Chippendale Desk in progress - open


otterine

I have my final layout for furnishings figured out, and I need a desk! :D I'm working with a House of Miniatures Chippendale Desk kit.

I built the desk without modification and painted it black to start. I sanded the finish smooth and then planned to add two coats of a lighter color, sanding to pull the black through in areas. But, now I'm torn. I love the distressed finish!

I could seal it as is to deepen the black and preserve the rustic look. I think for now I will leave it and decide later. :)

I dont know How but I knew this was your work just by seeing a picture, I see why you are torn and am torn for you, but I think adding lighting coats to expose the black will win out. I also was very drawn to you choice of paper, nice!

I love HOM kits! I really like what you have done with this one and I think i like the dark with the lighted wood grain showing through. Silly Jennybee try black next time instead of dark brown....The witches will be oh so happy!
