Family Desk Brought Back to Life – Tuesday’s Treasures

Hi Friends!

How are you? I hope you’re having a great week! We’ve had a good week here. Getting back to school and having a sunny Saturday was absolutely wonderful! Quick reminder that we now have online design consult available and they are on sale for half price from now until June 1st.

Also, we have free shipping for any online furniture purchase now until our store can open up again.

For this week’s furniture makeover, I wanted to share a desk makeover that we did for Amanda. This desk was used as a workbench for years and years by her father. She wanted to keep the piece in her family and restore it. The top was really damaged from being a workbench for years. So we spent quite a bit of time filling holes and repairing damage. John also built a matching handle for the drawer. I was impressed by how close he was able to get it to match the original.

Here’s the desk before:

We painted the desk with Benjamin Moore’s Black Enamel. Here’s a picture of it because you may have trouble finding it: 

We also sprayed it with a protective clear coat. If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post. Ready for the afters?

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of the story for this beautiful antique, Amanda! We love that you chose to restore it instead of sending it to a land fill!

This set was done as a custom order so it’s not for sale. You can check out available furniture on our For Sale page:
