HOW TO (RE) PAINT A CAMPAIGN DESK

A few weeks ago, I showed you how I messed up the desk that is going into the 'Big Boy' room.

This is what it looked like

The paint peeled

It did not look good...

You do remember why, right? Because I used this

DO NOT USE THE SAME ROLLER ON FURNITURE THAT YOU USE ON YOUR WALLS!

Okay, now that I have that squared away, let's get to correcting the problem

Step 1: Sand the desk (I'm saying desk, but it goes for whatever you're working on)

Step 2: use a tack cloth to remove the dust
(I forgot to take a picture when I used the tack cloth the first time)



Step 3: Roll on your primer

I used the same primer from the first time

Step 4: Admire your work

Step 5: Get back to work by smoothing out any 'rough' spots

(use your tack cloth again after this step too)

Step 6: Apply your paint (USING A FOAM ROLLER THIS TIME!)

Step 7: After your paint has dried, apply some type of protective coat/finish

And there you have it! I have fixed all of the problems with the desk by changing only one thing: I used a sponge roller!
I need to paint the hardware too. I will show you the reveal next week (maybe Monday!)

Have a great weekend Everyone!
