Roll Top Revived

This beauty was handed down to a friend and she wanted to have it cleaned up for her 6yr old little girl!

She pretty much said I could do what I wanted but knowing that the colors in her room are white and pink, I figured I would stick with that but make it a desk she could grow with as well.  

This is the first time I have used my Home Right Finish Max paint sprayer!

I decided this was the perfect project for it because of all of the ridges in the roll top.  What I hadn't counted on was the amount of paint that this puppy sucked up! It was a lot of spraying of primer (that I added paint thinner to in order to thin it down for the sprayer) and then a coat of white.   After all that spraying, it still had some faded spots so at that point I did a brushed on coat of white Annie Sloan paint to try and get more coverage.  And then a custom mix of white and red AS paint for the pink stripes I taped off.

All in all, I appreciated the sprayer and will be using it again! It did require me to stop several times to clean out the nozzle but otherwise it was an even spray and I think it would be great for chairs!

They will be moving soon and I can't wait to see it in her new room!

And here is a fun little girl's desk!  They are going to pick out the hardware once she is all set up:)

Have a great day!
