Are you nostalgic about those days when we returned from school, our backpacks full of books and our heads full of dreams?<\/span><\/p>\n To relive those memorable moments, I propose today to immerse yourself by giving a makeover to an old school desk.<\/span><\/p>\n Painted with Colorantic chalk paint, you will be charmed by this playful and colorful school desk that is so simple to create.<\/span><\/p>\n Now, grab your brushes! Let’s relive these joyful moments together.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ text_font_size=”16px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” min_height=”297.3px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”12653,31334,14472″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”50%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font_size=”16px” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First, like in any painting project, it is essential to prepare the surfaces of our furniture properly.<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks to the exceptional adhesion of Colorantic Chalk-Based Paint, I proceeded directly to the painting step!<\/span><\/p>\n Once the paint was thoroughly dry, I continued my quest for the perfect little desk with the White Cloud<\/a> and Chocolate Cake glazes<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Using a soft, clean cloth, I achieved an aged effect on the legs and edges of the furniture, following the wood grain. This technique added a few years to this desk, which seemed too shiny for my taste.<\/span><\/p>\n After letting the paint dry for about thirty minutes, I decided to add a bit of whimsy to the furniture by creating a polka dot pattern on the lid and sides. For this pattern, I used the Cotton Ball<\/a> color applied with a simple cork. Again, I recommend applying two coats of this paint for a more vibrant finish.<\/span><\/p>\n After a few hours of drying time, we’ve reached our final step: the application of the varnish.<\/span><\/p>\n I can already hear you asking: what could the white chalk listed among the used products possibly be for?<\/span><\/p>\n It’s used to activate the chalkboard inside the furniture. How to do it? It’s quite simple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And there you have it! Your children are now ready for back-to-school, or at least ready to remind you of all the beautiful memories and experiences you had during your youth!<\/span><\/p>\n I sincerely hope this project has brought a smile to your face and sparked some dreams, as it\u2019s often the case when I use Colorantic chalk paint for my projects!<\/span><\/p>\n Kim<\/strong><\/p>\n Artist<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/h4>\n
