Desk Delight….

SOLD!!!!

THIS DESK NOW BELONGS TO OUR NEIGHBORS.  THEY BOUGHT IT BEFORE IT WAS STARTED AND WERE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE COLORS. 

I did not get a before picture of this desk, but it was a dark brown.  The desk had great character and some rather unique hardware that attracted Dick to it.  He fell in LOVE with it and had a vision in mind before we left DI’s.

We have new neighbors and they found out we restored furniture and wanted something for the bedroom or bathroom for her to use as a makeup vanity.  When she seen the ugly brown color, she too had a vision and wanted the desk to serve as her vanity.  

The desk was painted sand and lightly distressed then glazed with a chocolate brown.  The hardware was spray painted oil rubbed bronze.

I am so taken with this side of the desk and the marble look that the glaze made.  I found that it is all in how it is rubbed off.  I am getting more relaxed with the glazing part.

Ivory Desk…

This desk now has a new home in Logan, UT

This is one of our finds in our treasure hunting a few weeks ago.  The desk had a broken drawer, but other than that it was in great shape.  Dick repaired it, sanded it down then…..

 

…painted the desk ivory and the pulls a glossy black.

The desk has seven drawers with the two bottom drawers deep for hanging files.

  WOW!!! this desk would make an added addition to your study or child’s room.

Brown Icebox End Table

SOLD!!!

THIS TABLE NOW HAS A NEW HOME IN LAYTON, UT

 

This was one of the treasures in the trip to DI a few weeks ago.  It captured the heart of my hubby and he fell in love with it.  A reminder of old days in his childhood with the real icebox that they had.

He proceeded to repair and paint the end table and this is what it looks like now….

  

 

 

…finished in a brown and lightly distressed.

Strawflower Table

When I found this table at DI, my heart started pounding and could not get to the table fast enough.  It’s beauty just captivated me.  The hand carved sides are just gorgeous and it has the true ball and claw feet.  It is my greatest treasure find yet.

When we bought the table it was a yucky brown and needed some repairs.  The handy dandy repair man (the hubby) went right to work and before you knew it the table was in excellent shape.

  

 

The table has 10 glass inserts, has been painted strawflower yellow, distressed and then glazed with brown.  Right now it is my living room, where I can enjoy it until it finds a new home.
