Revamped Turquoise Desk

Before: desk aqua before
(Note: I saved this image from .. designspongeonline.com [I think] because I didn't take a before photo of my own. This is the same desk but not my image.) Vintage desk I had found at a thrift store & knew it had potential. It used to be ugly, yellow & white. After hours of sanding, painting & putting a gloss coat on it was finished. Turquoise is my favorite color so I thought it was appropriate. I don't have any before pictures although I wish I did. I kept the original hardware. First piece of furniture & hope to have many more.

Comments, criticism and tips are more than appreciated.

Hey, the paint can says... Behr premium plus ultra, interior semi-gloss, paint & primer in one, deep base #3753 mermaid treasure. I got it from Home Depot. It was really easy to paint with & went on quite smoothly.
