House of Miniatures Chippendale Desk in progress

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. :)

What about adding a stain to darken the wood showing thru so that it looks older. I do not think it would change the black much if you quickly wipe on , wipe off the stain. I like the black paint.
