    There are several makeovers on HomeTalk. I just typed "desk" in the search box above. One of them is sure to inspire you. Please post your project when you are finished.

    I love the look of a dark stained top and white legs, it is classic and adds the dramatic effect that gets a piece noticed. We did our kitchen table in this finish with General Finishes Java gel stain and Annie Sloan Old White. It would blend with your gray and stand out too.

    I've seen lots of color combos with the gray tend that stand out and look amazing. Maybe try pairing a bright color with the gray (turquoise, aqua, tangerine, yellow). I really love Shannon's idea too if you want to keep that classic look. I'm eager to see what you end up doing with it.
