Custom :: Grandfather's Desk

Some friends of ours just recently built a {gorgeous} new house.  With a new house of course comes new decorating ideas.  They had a desk that's been in their family for quite some time {it was his grandfather's} and asked us if we could refinish it for them.  I absolutely love working on pieces that have history and meaning.  There's nothing more rewarding then reviving an older piece of furniture that has a special place in someones heart.

Here's how the desk originally looked:

We decided to sand down and re-stain the top, paint the body of the desk old white and swap out the hardware.  Even though it looks like a brand new desk ... the history of it will not be forgotten.
