      I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂

      I'm generally against push-latches (they're usually a cheap cop-out from finding appropriate hardware)...but the reasoning behind using them in this instance was perfection! It allowed you to use the original, beautiful hardware and actually emphasized the verticality of the cabinet veneer. Gorgeously done faux bois work, as well!!!

      I have no issue with people doing that. This would be hard to sell because it's not usable as a desk. It's a vanity, so only a vanity bench can be used. It’s only 27” high.

    I've been watching a few of your projects and am very impressed how you properly clean a piece (odors, dust, mold etc..) before continuing to restore. Also, the ability to repair the dinks & scratches to the point the piece looks new but still has the integrity of the era! 😀

      @TranscendFurnitureGallery  Před 2 dny

      I do a lot of full restorations but sometimes a bit of paint on lesser quality wood (and especially plastic laminate coated wood, or Formica) can keep something structurally sound from being tossed just because it’s a bit rough or dated cosmetically. But I like to restore certain woods whenever possible. 🙂

    Wow, I had a desk like this when I was a kid (1950's) but mine was painted an ivory and had bakelite shell pulls. I like that you went the extra mile and restored it to a stain instead of just painting it. I used mine as a desk to do my homework, as well as my nails at times. . My niece now has it in her house and takes good care of it. You did an excellent job at restoration and is very impressive. You are a true crafts "man" and your attention to detail is what makes this restoration a real quality piece. Good job !

Another masterpiece, Angie. Beautiful.

    Along with your creative painting one of the things I seriously appreciate is the way you explain the problems you encounter and how you decide to address them! Every piece of furniture I've attempted to "rescue" has confronted me with its own peculiar issues -- and then defied every attempt to work around (for example) latches refusing to close (or open), damaged drawer tracks, badly done repairs, lifting laminate reattached with... is that model airplane glue??? (yep, not kidding) and literally MILES of duct tape intended to be -- I hope -- temporary but left in place for years.
    THANK YOU for showing us how you solve (ab)used furniture problems and giving me the inspiration to save another "work of art" from the bonfire!
