Desk Transformation

by Tana, Little Red Bag Productions

This piece was in a friends garage for a spell and so I dragged it home to give it some lovin'! It didn't have a whole lot of personality so I had to get creative to make it shine. I think that with a different chair and a beautiful lit oval mirror above it, it could serve well as a vanity! Am I allowed to say that she's for sale? $250. :)

Love me!

Has a bit of a femme side...

I tend to tinker around with my design concepts in a photo software program to see what may be....

The poly and waxing (x3) really allowed for a lovely sheen on the drawers.

desk transformation, painted furniture, I stripped the top and left it cuz it s gorgeous and just put a light coat of ebony stain on it and then sealed the pic doesn t do it justice at all

Ye ol' hardware just needed a wee bit of cleaning and buffing to give it presence. Looks nice with the stripes don'tcha think?

What design software do you use? This is such an amazing piece!

  @Adrienne Donoghue Finch Thanks Adrienne! The software really helps when I'm just not sure about the balance of the piece. It's called ArcSoft and it came with the HP printer I bought about 10 years ago! You can also find more current programs for free online and with your Microsoft Package if you have one... hope this helps!
