Beautiful blue antique desk with French script

This desk is one of my favourite pieces!  It has such lovely lines and the solid wood construction and quality workmanship made it great to work with.  It is chalk-painted a very pretty dusky blue and the wooden desk-top was sanded down as I suspected it had a gorgeous natural colour and wood-grain underneath.  The inside of the drawers are painted out with a cream colour and everything is waxed and sealed to last.  I added the hand-painted French script for a little something special...this desk is now pretty and functional: why own anything that doesn't live up to those criteria? ;) 

Some of the accessories atop the desk are also for sale at the Beeton Honey Fest
the cafe sign, wooden box and its contents, and the mason jar pen-holder are all made/up-cycled/altered creations.  Contact me at sageandbalm@gmail.com if anything tickles your fancy, or you'd like to place a custom furniture order.  You can also Follow Sage & Balm on Facebook!
