So anyone who has joined me at n auction knows that I get carried away. Not just a little. A LOT! And the checkout is a nail biting experience. I bought too much at an auction in March and this was the last piece I worked on of the haul. It got put on the back burner because it was...gross. A barn find that literally had a mouse nest in the bottom drawer. It was well worth braving the ickyness!
It was so dark it looked almost black. Everyone I showed it to couldn't even see the great character.
I knew that this little vanity/desk needed to be green. As a go to color, MMS Lucketts Green was used for the base and MMS Boxwood was used in the stripe detailing. I sanded down the top and rubbed in a little hemp oil. Nice and rich!
I wanted it to look nice and spring-y and added white wax to get in the grooves. It turned out exactly as planned and looked sort of like a frosted succulent leaf.
