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!
