I have finally finished the desk renovation for Juliet, after a few delays, such as the vintage cotton reels I wanted to use as knobs on the drawers getting lost in the post, and then having a lot of trouble getting the old knobs off. It's not quite how I anticipated it would look, but I did learn a lot.
Here are the vintage reels, I left the tread on them and put a couple of layers of lacquer on top of it so it wouldn't unravel.
The paint was given to me so once that ran out I had to stop. I painted a few layers using different application methods and wiped and scraped off paint to give it a worn look.
