I remembered your post from way back and was wondering if you had to sand your desk/vanity first or if you primed it? I have never "refinished" furniture before. Any tips?

You have so many talents. (Love the idea of cookie of the week, I may have to use that). But your rejuvenated vanity is absolutely fabulous. I need to do something about my dining room table and chairs, and you've inspired me and given me hope!
