Candy Stripe Desk

I love this desk.  It gave me all kinds of problems along the way but in the end it turned out great.  It is super heavy and made entirely of MDF.  I distressed it on the edges to give it more of the look of wood.  I like to stain any tops or drawers that are wood because they look amazing and are easier to care for than a painted surface.  Alas, I couldn't stain any large surfaces on this.  This desk is going in the same room as the Beautiful Blue Dresser I did in the summer.  There is still one more piece to go in the collection and then the room will be complete.

The color is Sherwin Williams Begonia.  The white is Rustoleum Spray Paint in Heirloom White.  I sealed the piece with Minwax Fast Drying Poly and Wipe on Poly.  I am finally out of Fast Dry Poly so I can move onto something else.  I did not like working with that product!!
