Maitlyn's grandparents gave her a desk for her room that has been in the family for many generations. Mark had a fabulous little antique desk that we use for an occasional table in the living room that needed some TLC. So, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon we set out to tackle both desks at once. Mark and Maitlyn on her desk and me on the other. It turned out to be a great Daddy/daughter project with lots of laughs.
Sanding never looked so fun to do. Staged picture of course but they did a great job.
And of course, Maitlyn insisted on getting a picture of my project too.
This little desk started with Mark's great Aunt. As I sanded I found Maitlyn's little girl attempt at carving her name in the side of the desk when she used it as hers years ago. We all laughed at what a little stinker she was, claiming it as her own.
Oh yeah! Time to shake up the stain/sealer. Shake it, shake it Maitlyn!
Adorable picture of Mark and Maitlyn putting on the finish. Beautiful day outside and gorgeous view!
Maitlyn showing off her new spray on tan. Ha ha! She got quite a bit on herself while she put on the finish.
Have you ever used Min-Wax products? Love this stain/finish all in one. Great results! I love seeing old pieces revived and used again as if it were new. These are both new to me! Wish they made furniture like they use to.
