Took this vintage desk and brought it back to life. I removed the veener on the drawers and front bottom, and sanded the original finish off the sides and top. I hand applied 2 coats of New Pine Gel Stain on the drawers and sides and 2 coats of Black Gel Stain for the frame and top. I lightly distressed the vintage desk before applying 3 coats of High Performance Top Coat - Satin (Sprayed) The hardware was sprayed in black lacquer.
