After redoing my room and placing it with lovely gray – cream furniture I didn't have enough space left for a regular writing-table so I decided to do it myself...
I bought a cheep JYSK (shop similar to IKEA) commode and started working on it :)
First I sanded it whit my trusted machine...
... but not too deep because it is not real wood and if you go to deep you will end up with surface which is not really suitable for painting.
I took picture I liked (and which was easy) and remade it into black and white one.
Then I painted it gray (used a roller to get a little bit of tecture) and put on my little b/w graphic. First I tried to do it the simple way and use stencil technique but I suck at it, so I had to redo it all with a pencil, ruler and thin paintbrush (took me 12 hours!!!). * You can see, that it is nor really finished, because there are some details to perfect I can't get tabletop which is the right length, but I hoping to get it soon :)
