Antique Secretary Desk Re-Fab(ulous)!










I know this is selfish because I haven't been on here in forever, but I wanted to post my latest project. I found an antique secretary's desk for $30 bucks at a garage sale. I refinished her in a creamy-dreamy white and now she's a beauty of a Re-Fab(ulous) Secretary Desk!

    nice job.. My parents got one of these in the 70's and passed it on to my sister about 10 years ago. Now I wish I had it. I think I have seen these sell for 150.00 on up. NICE SCORE- Beautiful paint job..
