I'm in Switzerland but love so much seeing an artist from my neck of the woods! I actually got a little emotional when I saw the final result. I was imagining the people who owned that piece over the years and how happy they would be to see how you gave it such a stunning new life! I especially love the woodwork on the middle drawer. Lovely work!! ❤

      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. 🙂

      Angie, you have created another restored masterpiece. I love the dark stain over a lighter one. It gives the desk a regal air, which is befitting of such a noble piece. I was happy that you were able to reuse the hardware on the drawers and use the magnetic latches for the doors. Overall a stunning transformation !

      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. It’s why so many of these end up in the trash. If a piece can be reused as nightstands instead being useless and discarded, I’m all for that.

    You have a gift for seeing beauty behind the damage. You’ve also acquired the skills to deal with the damage and enhance the beauty in the piece. This transformation shows an artist who’s come into their own. Brilliant work, Angie!

      Yes! Without an artist’s eye for color to be able to see and know what materials are needed for the repairs, a restoration like this would be impossible.

    I can only say is the art deco era is my all time favorite style. I’d have that piece in my home in a heartbeat. Turned out beautiful and the darker stain does it justice. Wonderful job!!

    You absolutely worked magic on this one! It turned out gorgeous! I always am amazed when I watch you do the coloring tricks to make things match, like you did here to hide the filled holes on the doors. Perfect! 😁

    You really brought this piece back to life. The original condition I judged to be lethal, but your restoration decisions, while they altered the piece, worked a miracle. I love the darker tone. It showcases the wood and implies well-cared-for aging.

    Oh that is stunning. My grandmother (who would now be 114 if she was still around) had a vanity just like this. Seeing this one look exactly the way I remember seeing it as a kid was a fantastic experience. Beautiful work!

    I'm convince that with today's finishing products that YOUR version is even more exquisite than the original. When you found the 3rd knob in the drawer I was convince you'ld put them on the drawers only. I can't see any evidence of the holes in the doors! I never tought of sealing between coats of stains... brilliant! The dark color was your best bet! This desk belongs in a President's office!

    Astonishing. What I most admire about your work is the attention to the things no one will ever see. Wow. You could flip it upside down and it would still be beautiful. I say this every time but it bears repeating: You are an artist who works with wood.

    Awesome result!
    Quick tip when aligning anything sticky with double sided tape:
    Align it with the film on, now tape one side of it to the target, use the tape as a hinge to fold it up.
    Now remove the film and fold it back down, perfect alignment every time! (Also works with phone screen protectors) 🙃
