I think some mid century pieces really can stand out
on their own with no paint. This particular one I felt wasn't one
of those pieces.
Which is why I decided to paint it.
I wanted a two tone look and with this design
it had a few ideas on how I could do that.
I stained the top trim, drawers, and legs in cappuccino.
Painted the body in black. Added new modern black knobs.
Painted the metal tips on the legs in black.
Sealed everything in a matte finish.
Not many desks have backs that can be painted.
This one did, so I painted the back also.
It gives an option of using it with the back facing out.
Before and after!
