Painted in a color picked by the client for her 4 year old. As I finished the first coat, my own princess said "Momma, this is such a pretty desk, I hope you don't make it look old and dirty." It was a good perspective and I agreed with her, so rather than give it a lot of dark wax I gave it a white glaze. It turned out great! A little wax at the end to seal it and bring out some details, but certainly not too dirty.
My friend bought this desk off craigslist only to find a leg had snapped at some point and the seller didn't disclose this. I really only know how to glue things, but I was assured by my neighbor, Kate at heirandspace, that it would probably be the strongest leg after glue. She was right! It was impossible to find the broken leg after the painting began.
