A friend and client wanted a new desk for her new home. She wanted it like a writing desk and about 6' long. She had a picture for color that was her inspiration piece. That is about all the instruction I got on it. After searching everywhere for the perfect piece, I gave up when I found these legs and built my own.
This was her inspiration piece for color only she didn't want it as distressed as this.
These are some random legs I found while out one day at a thrift store. As soon as I saw them, I knew they would be the legs for the desk! This is after I took them home and painted them.
This is right after I stained the desktop.
Checking for spacing and overall look. Yes, I'm in the guest room, it's hot out there!
This is the final desk delivered! I forgot to take a picture of adding the rope trim to the edge of the desk top before delivery, so glad I got one here. It really finished the piece.
She says it's her favorite piece I've made for her so far and she already has another project in mind!
Enjoyed the project?
