Free desk makeover...now antique style

I got a free desk & had been waiting for a  project so thought this would be perfect. I was not a fan of the back or pen holder, so I removed those parts.

I knew that I wanted to paint it with chalk paint but because it had so many layers of various paint/wax/not sure what, I went ahead and gave it a good sanding, especially on top. Initially, I was going to paint the top white, but after two coats, I realized that it might not cover fully so I switched that to gray. Once I had the coats complete, I was ready for the pics. I had found the pic and printed it but I do not have a color laser printer so the flowers are black and white. I coated it in the photo transfer and used my mod podge roller to role out the excess. I guess I did not do enough though because I had a hard time removing just the paper. I ended up removing part of the image. This is what happens when you dont rest first. Oops.I just rolled with it, fixed it as best I could and sealed it with the chalk sealer spray paint.

I painted it with chalk paint. Rust o leum chalk paint, of course. :)
