Good golly, I think this could have been on of MY desks from Jr. High School as I TOTALLY remember these and loved sliding my paper-bag wrapped and doodle-on textbooks into those types of shelves. I'm guessing that there might have been gum underneath this desk too (Ugh!)
More on this stencil project:
When painting over rusted metal it's best to sand lightly and clean well. Then-spray paint is your best friend. Ida used a flat spray paint from Krylon as her base and then flat latex paint for the Chevron stencil. For added protection, you topcoat painted furniture with a good water-base poly.
Ida sells her fabulous furniture makeovers throughout the Dallas, TX area and you can find more of her creations on The Urban Cottage blog.
