Lamp Black and Coco Desk

By Mitzie Tibbets, Owner/Designer at JoyUs by Design in VA.

No matter which way you turn this desk, it is elegant, beautiful and provides visual interest. I applied fabric to the top using Mod Podge. The body was painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Coco and trimmed with General Finishes Milk Paint in Lamp Black.  Once dry, a diamond pattern was painted on the top, sides and back of the piece with General Finishes Milk Paint in Lamp Black. These color combinations are just gorgeous together. Additional stenciling was done on each diamond and inside the drawers using Coco and Lamp Black. Opening the drawers revealing a little detail really makes the customer feel like the piece is more custom.

The fronts of the drawers were detailed with General Finishes Milk Paint in Lamp Black. The entire piece was sealed with General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in Satin. New hardware was the finishing touch to bring all of the elements together.
