FOR SALE: Rolltop Desk in ASCP Aubusson Blue

A very generous soul contacted me this winter and asked if I would like to have her rolltop desk. It had worn out its welcome at her house and she thought I may be able to use it on my blog. How nice is that?!?! Thank you, Amanda!

Here is a before picture of the desk: 

 Nothing special, right?

The desk is NOT an antique. The drawers are made of wood and the structure is made of pressed wood with a dark foil finish. I knew Annie Sloan Chalk Paint would adhere to almost anything so I decided to give it a chance. I debated on the color for a long time and then opted to go with Aubusson Blue. It's not too dark, not too blue, not too teal, not too...much.

Here's the final product:

 Well, what'cha think?

 

I know...right!

 

I was thrilled with the way it turned out!

The desk is approximately 22" D x 46" W x 41" H.

It has three smaller drawers, four regular drawers, 

and one large double drawer deep enough to hold files.

It has also has one large cubby...

and four smaller cubbies for additional storage.

Most importantly...all of the drawers slide like butter! 

And yes, the rolltop works great, too;)

I spruced up the existing upper knobs with Rub n Buff and 

replaced the handles on the lower drawers with cup pulls. 

The brassy patina is the perfect contrast to the Aubusson Blue.

Let  me know if you are interested in purchasing the desk.

I am asking $165 for the piece. SOLD!

 I have cross listed it on several online garage sale sites as well.

As always, thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading 13 County Custom Finishes.
