Antique white & dark-waxed vintage secretary desk with copper fixtures (painted in-home)

Here is another in-home custom order I did for my friends "G & A".  A secretary desk was on G's radar for awhile, but she wasn't having any luck hunting down one that fit her style and budget after getting married and moving into a new home while having to buy lots of new furnishings!  But she knew exactly what she wanted; and after sighting an unfinished desk in her sister's home, she asked her sister if she could have it and then asked if I could refinish it for her.  
After discussing colours and finishes, we went with a classic, creamy off-white colour and finished it with clear and dark wax to give it a natural patina.  The old wooden fixtures were replaced with gleaming copper ones which complemented the white colour, yet still gave the desk an old-world feel.  Now, it's sitting happily in her office, where G can enjoy her pretty new work-space (and so can her cat!)  

Recognize the chair in the photos?  That's from another custom order I did for G & A - see it here!

Before - drab and dated (and...dusty!)



After!  A beautiful & classic secretary desk!
