Not Too Shabby

  When my Grandmother passed away, I was given her vintage, pine desk.  I loved this desk.

But, vowed to add my own personal touch to it, some day.  I kept my word and created this magnificent work of wonder and amazement!(Okay. Maybe, I am exaggerating a tad bit). 

  Anyways, I sanded it down imperfectly, slapped on some white spray paint and created a  distressed look by sanding down the edges and top surfaces. We also replaced the old, wooden knobs with modern stainless steel ones.  
However, I still felt that it needed a little "something".  So, I decided to create a pattern with masking tape on the sides and paint over it.  I peeled the tape off, and Voila! 

  

 So, there you have it! I actually would like to re-do this project and change up the colors and maybe even the pattern.  I am thinking Grey, Gold, Black, White.  In combination, of course. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them in the comments below! Don't be shy!
