This morning, I noticed that Kate from Centsational Girl girl asked for suggestions for the perfect robin's egg blue. I think I have it though I did not discover it on my own; my sister-in-law who is a designer/principal at Katheryn Robertson Ltd. enlightened me to the correct color. She recommended Benjamin Moore 745 Blue Rapids for this old desk that I painted about 2 years ago. I hadn't yet started this blog, so I don't have pictures or remember what I did, but I'm pretty sure that I: removed hardware, lightly sanded, cleaned the desk then painted two coats of this color. After the paint was dry, I used sandpaper to distress the corners. I still haven't updated the hardware!
Though I took multiple pictures on various settings, I'm still not sure the pictures capture the color as it appears in person:
Thanks for reading!
