Sometimes a treasure needs restored and not just transformed.

This school desk with a 1910 patent date was calling out to be returned to its former glory. All it took was some time to take it all apart, strip the yellow paint, and add a finish to the beautiful wood. Then it was reassembled so that the desk could tilt and raise up and down. What a charmer for some child's room!!

    Great restoration Sally! I know that had to consume some time.
