I've been searching for a new desk and then I realized I really don't have the extra money for a new one (boo hiss!) So I went off in search of a project...meet Ethan. My old desk from when I was a kid that was still (amazingly) in my parents garage.

I really wanted to refinish the entire thing, but I was feeling antsy...I have that problem quite a bit! So I settled on refinishing the hardware. Enter, spray paint. Ah, my love of spray paint! I used Peacock House, Mediterranean, Baby Blue, Pewter Grey and Aged Copper. All lovely colors alone, but even better when layered together. I also used a dry paint brush to add some textured to make them look aged. I
really like that each piece of hardware is different as each one was spray painted in a different way. Just gives it a nice touch :) Enjoy!
The final product:
