I was fortunate to stumble upon this amazing gem at a friends yard sale and snag it quick! Because, like I said, everyone else was after it too! (in my mind!) I skipped over it at first and then revisited it... It was so unique. I love things that are not predictable and aren't cookie cutter. As a mater and a fact, if they are then they won't be after I'm done with them. So off I went with this beauty!
As my hubs and me were bringing her into the house to her (its a girl, by the way) spot in the office, he said the most beautiful words... "I wish the rest of our house looked like this." Now some may have taken that as a jab, NOT ME! I took it as permission ;) And the rest is painted history! I have been a furniture collector ever since that day. And really its his own fault that he can't park in the garage anymore!
And this is her story to greatness...
Check out the legs!
I HATE priming, just letting you know.
Regency stencil from HobLob... love. The color is like a bright sage, Parks Place, from Lowes, I believe.
And I was going to get new hardware but decided to just spray the old stuff since it worked so well.
... and now my husband takes good care of her while working from home ;)
So thanks to this desk we are all here today!
Just one more before and after:
