Hey Mandi. I love that desk. But I have to ask if you’ve ever heard of Soy Gel for stripping? I really ought to be a spokesperson for them as much as I tout their product! lol Anyway, I’ve been using it for years. It’s made by Farnham and you can order it on Amazon or The Real Milk Paint Co. I use it to strip all my old dressers. The pro is that it cleans up with water. Totally non-toxic, no fumes, and you can work without gloves (if you want,,,it’s still gooey tho). I wrote about it on my last two posts. Here,,,,,,,,https://makemeprettyagain.blogspot.com/2014/05/a-new-frenchy.html

The biggest pro for me is the clean up. Plain old H2O and a scrubby sponge. And you can even wash it down on your lawn! It strips like a dream too!
Anyway, love your blog and your style. Just thought you might like to try something different.

It’s amazing what a coat of paint can do to a piece of furniture – It turned out great – I’m so impressed!

So, I found your blog from East Coast Creative, and I’m kind of obsessed. Your blog is amazing and I’m pretty sure that you’re my spirit animal and that we should be BFFs immediately.

Not creepy at all, right? Seriously, though – dig the blog and adore your style.

Haha! Thanks for sharing my IG pic and I am so glad that you share my sense of humor! 😉 The desk is fab…the whole room is ridiculous…in an incredibly awesome way. I’ve said this before but maybe never to your face…but why hasn’t anyone picked you up for a television show??? 😉 Have no doubt they will…
