A Ten O'Clock Scholar...


a diller, a dollar a ten o'clock scholar... a dollar is about all this desk was worth when we started.  a sad cast-off likely relegated to the street in lieu of some flashy particle filled euro-desk...  and in all fairness, what scholar would want to spend any time dreaming about his future at a sorry looking desk like this....




no matter the time or the angle of the sun, it just would not do...




so once again, Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to the rescue!!!


a little ASCP Paris Gray, 


some soft dark wax, 


a little elbow grease, 


a little time with some 220 grit sandpaper up top,


a smidge of inspiring trinkets, and


what dreamer couldn't spend the afternoon studying 


to his hearts


delight...?


there will be no more starting at noon for this lucky scholar...


class dismissed...
