I am so excited to share this project with you!

So, as all good DIYers do, I figured out how to do it myself.  I had to wait for the right piece to come along, this desk was it!

This desk got two coats of General Finishes Milk Paint in Lamp Black – seriously you should try this paint, it is great!

I papered off all the parts that I didn’t want to get sticky with spray adhesive.  (Side note…my basement floor is permanently gold-leafed…so if you don’t want this to happen to you, use paper on the floor).

Just keep going until you get it covered.  I just used my fingers to smooth it down into the adhesive, and sometimes used the brush to “burnish” it a bit. 

This fun desk is available in the

Roots & Wings Etsy Shop

Let me know if you have any questions…don’t you want to go gild something?!?

Blessings,

Jenni

PS – Last summer a friend and I made copper terra-cotta herb pots using this same technique, they turned out smashing!
