Before and After- Writing Desk

A fabulous thrifting find.  I posted about this desk a while back here.
A little time and attention and he looks more like this these days...



 Nevermind my lame attempt at staging.  Major impromptu rush job!  
Note to self...have your background fabric touch the floor next time!  Ironing it first may not be a bad idea either.

Rather handsome with his hand-painted, smoky grey finish and oil-rubbed bronze hands (drawer pulls) and feet, don't you think?
He's also for sale in my Etsy Shop.

    I love this. Am currently on the lookout for a makeover candidate to turn into a "desk". :)

    I love the color and the distressing on the desk. I wouldn't have noticed the fabric backdrop being short...I thought it was wall paper.
