a desk for Nancy ~

Sometimes things are just meant to be.

One afternoon over the summer, I was chatting with my friend Nancy on the phone.  She mentioned she was getting rid of her old desk and would be searching for a new one as her next major purchase.  

It just so happened that Mickey and I had purchased an old desk at an estate sale the weekend before and I was already working on its new look.  I mentioned it to her and told her I could send her a photo to see if it might even be remotely close to what she wanted.

This is it......

She really liked it and was fine with the direction I already was going with it.  I planned to keep that original hardware because it is just perfect as is.  And I thought the hardware would really pop against some cream paint.  And of course a little distressing never hurts!

 This is how it turned out.....

I always love an opportunity to work on a piece for a friend!  Nancy ended up being very happy with the finished product and I'm sure it looks great in her new work space!
