before and after: secretary in typewriter

May 18, 2015 by Erica Carpenter Filed Under: Before & After, News

They really are my favorites. In fact, the next secretary may have to come to my house. I’m not sure if it’s the lines or the fact that you can close all of your junk away and hide it from the world? We probably have about five per year. but we are on pace to double that this year (as long as we can keep finding them!).

We found this secretary at Old Picket Fence in Noblesville, where we are both vendor and shopper! It was in good shape, but I thought it would really pop if painted. Because it was a deep mahogany, we decided on Miss Mustard Seed’s Milk Paint in Typewriter on most of the piece. We did leave the lattice, the shelves and the inside storage in the natural wood and rejuvenated those areas with Miss Mustard Seed’s Hemp Oil. Isn’t she a beaut?
