Here’s a dash of color for you in case you are having a humdrum afternoon. Nothing humdrum about purple, is there? It’s such a fun color; we really don’t see enough of it. Thus I’m predicting it will probably be the hottest color of 2014. Purple, plum, puce, whatever you call it, it’s going to be HOT. Mark my words!!
Better After reader Kim is either a soothsayer or way ahead of the trend, because she thought purple would be the perfect choice for this little desk makeover. She was right!
Do YOU have any makeover submissions to share? Send them my way! Betterafter(at)live(dot)com. Don’t be discouraged by a common misconception: that you need to have a blog to submit a project. Not at all. A few photos and a quick description of your project is all I need if you aren’t a blogger but would still like to share. I LOVE to see what my readers are up to!

October 14, 2013 at 7:49 PMI am just getting ready to add the wax to a desk like this! I painted the drawers with Annie Sloan’s purple called Emile. The top I stained and varnished, the sides and front Old White. I had lots of trouble with the old stain bleeding through the chalk paint so I was told to seal it with Zinsers seal and it worked well.
