French shabby-chic cream and grey distressed lady's secretary desk with lock and key

This darling little desk caught my eye as I was hunting down an item for a custom order.  I jumped on it, knowing I could make it quite the beauty again, although it had been kept in good repair.  It is a reproduction piece, so I was happy to paint it out a gorgeous creamy linen colour with a pale grey glaze.  I also added some onlay details and changed out the old hardware for something fancier.  The interior is pretty too: I liked the original wood on the inside, so I just did some stencil work to give it a little "je ne sais pas" and add some personality to the sea of brown wood.  Now it is ready for a new home!  Check it out on Etsy - just click the shop link on the right!

Before: nice, but not as alluring as I'd like!



After: a gorgeous and perfectly shabby-chic desk!
