Upcycled Drop Leaf Table Becomes a Custom Desk for a Cozy Office Nook!
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!

This drop leaf table was beautiful but had cracked and warped making it not suitable to use. Please note that the table had also had repairs over its lifetime and was not in its original state...
one leaf of this table became a backplate and the other a shelf.
