Restyle a Wooden Desk into Americana Decor

Transform an ordinary wooden desk into an Americana accent for your home. Painting furniture cast-offs has always been an inexpensive way to add style accents when decorating a room. An afternoon and leftover wall paint makes this an easy project.

Things You Will Need:

Wooden Desk
Sandpaper
Dry rag
Navy or Royal Blue Flat Paint
Paintbrush
Wrapping paper
Scissors
Ruler
Pencil
Painter's tape
White flat paint
Red flat paint
Star stencil (size to fit design)
Stencil brush
Wipe-on pecan stain
Sponge brush
Old T-shirt
Clear sealer

Step 1
Lightly sand the surface of the desk to remove and/or rough up the existing finish. This will help your new paint adhere to the desk's surface. Remove the sanding dust with a dry rag.

Step 2
Paint the entire desk using navy or royal blue paint. Allow the paint to dry and repeat until complete coverage is achieved.

Step 3
Measure the writing surface of your desk. Cut a rectangle from wrapping paper to fit the dimensions. Trace the stripes and the blue field for an American flag on the back of the wrapping paper rectangle. An exact replica is not necessary. I took creative license and used only seven stripes for my flag. I do recommend an uneven number of stripes so that there is a red one at the top and the bottom of the flag.

Step 4
Once you have completed your pattern, trace the lines on the writing surface of the desk using a pencil.

Step 5
Mask off the sections of the flag to paint the white stripes first. Allow them to dry and repeat with the red stripes. Center a star stencil on the blue field and using a stencil brush, paint the star white. My star was 5 inches, but you will need to choose a stencil that best fits the space you are working with. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.

Step 6
Sand the painted desk to age and distress the surface and edges. Wipe off the sanding dust using a dry rag.

Step 7
Apply wipe-on pecan stain to all surfaces and edges of the desk. Rip an old T-shirt into rag size pieces. Wipe off the excess stain while the stain is still wet. Of course, you could use different stain color, but test in a hidden area before covering the whole desk.

Step 8
Apply a clear varnish to seal the paint. Allow the sealer to dry.
