Upcycled Drop Leaf Table Becomes a Custom Desk for a Cozy Office Nook!
by
Cynthia Weber @ A Button Tufted Life...

This alcove needed something to make it sing...
Like a cozy office !
I started with a drop leaf table...The sides had warped and cracked over time and it just didn’t work as a dining table anymore… ( please note, I did not alter an intact antique... this table had already been altered and was not in original condition. )
But, the colour was amazing…
It was begging for a repurposing project!
By taking the two sides off we had the perfect sized desk to fit in the space…
One side became a handsome backplate for the desk…
The second side wanted to play too so, we made it into a matching shelf above…
I hope you pop over and see the completed project on the blog!
