Stenciled Desk...


When we saw this stencil on the floor at Barb Skivington's, we knew we had to try a SMALLER version! The combination of Graphite and Old White Chalk Paint™ decorative paint is a classic from the word go! The great reveal of this piece shows that Chalk Paint isn't just for distressing. This was a simple color combo from Annie Sloan, stunning stencils from Royal Design Studio and a whole lotta love from Hueology.


This cherry desk was originally slotted to go in our lovely spot at Total Bliss in Summerfield, NC (where we bought the stunning stencil). It never made it out of the garage at MJ's... let's just say a "passer byer"saw it, loved it & bought it. What more can we say.


Trish was just happy to grab a few pictures before we had to see it go...aren't you glad we did? Now to find another great find to do it all over again!!!

  2. Did you strip the cherry stain off first or simply paint over it? I have a cherry desk that I would love to give a new look to and I love this!

    1. We did not have to strip a thing!!! Chalk Paint sticks to any surface with NO PREP. Just painted right over the shiny cherry!!!
