You can see step 1 here but I’ll give you a quick recap.
{Step 1}
I tore up pieces of contractor’s paper…
and adhered it to my desk top using wallpaper paste…
I let it dry and it looked like this…
{Step 2}
I wiped on a dark stain…
2 coats actually, and now it looks like this…
All I need to do now is coat it with a sealer but I didn’t have any so I’ll have to do that this weekend.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out! I keep walking past the room just so I can look at it! I really wish you could see it in person! It’s such a easy way to spruce up an old desk!
This is only a small part of my laundry room makeover. I’ll be so glad when it’s ALL done.
Enjoy your weekend!

That is such a wonderful finish! I've seen it done on a bedroom wall and it looked incredible! Love your version of it.
wow-this really looks like leather-what an awesome idea-may just have to try this!!
That turned out really amazing! Great job.
Wow this looks amazing!! Great job!
Ok, I love this. My husband and I have been looking into different ways that could re-do our kitchen counter tops ourselves. These look great and would match our house...do you think the sealant would be strong enough to use for kitchen counter tops?
