Aqua Blue Vanity/Desk


This past weekend I finished painting this desk/vanity for a client.  
Before:
My client had bought the pair of matching dressers for her daughter's room  (  HERE ) from me a few weeks ago and she wanted a desk for her daughter and asked me to be on the lookout for one.  I found this one that I thought would be a great addition to the pair and my client thought so too.  I mixed up Coastal Bliss and Marshmallow Cream from  The Urban Rooster and painted the desk with 2 coats.  I gently distressed the edges and sealed the desk/vanity with AS clear wax.  
I had a difficult time getting good pictures because my client came to pick it up when I was done and I didn't have much time to snap  the after photos. 



The Hydrangeas from my neighbor are still going strong! 


Gorgeous Hardware

Lovely details

    So beautiful....and the desk is gorgeous too! ;-) Seriously, that is stunning and I so love that color blue! I'm hoping to make myself incorporate some color in the new house. I seem to be stuck in neutral tones and can't get out of the rut!

    It is so pretty.....It appears at though the veneer was coming off the left front legs?? Curious how you repaired that.
