Rhett and I have become mall rats.
Arizona is still 95 degrees or above and that's better than 117 degrees, but still too hot to spend a lot of time outside.
So we go play at the mall. Rhett has his play place and I have mine...Pottery Barn.
I love sitting on their chairs and ogling over their lampshades and pillows and, well everything.
One thing I love most about their furniture is how natural it is with its stains and finishes.
So when we picked up this piece it was so obvious that no paint would touch it.
The desk was weather beaten, dirty and kind of crusty.
But as we started sanding we discovered a diamond in the rough.
After some wood oil and a little stain we saw this.
It is probably one of my favorite pieces.
I seriously feel smarter when I sit in front of her.
Ahh the power of beautiful furniture. :)
Staining can be more difficult than painting, but the outcome is usually stunning and timeless.
PS I'll be doing a post next week on some tips for working with stain.
