I’d like to know how the top and drawer were done–paper and modpoge or something?
That paper is available in sheets from Paper Source as well — logically, since Waste Not Paper is owned by the same people.

How did she go about doing this? I am trying to refinish my desk and would love to know the stain she used.

After stripping the paint, off I sanded it down to get some scratches out. This caused a difference in color to the table top which after stained took on an interesting marbled appearance. Then I just used modpoge and paper using extra attention around the corners and in the end applied a finishing varnish. It was fun!
WOW! This is so inspiring!!! :-) I am going to be refinishing an old desk. I need to get my creative juices flowing!
