Antique desk/vanity

I love this style of vanity!  Is it terrible to admit that I've secretly coveted finding one?  I had so much fun doing this one.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it and fortunately my client said I could do whatever I thought best.  Love that. ;)  It truly is a stunning piece of furniture.  I told her I loved it and she said she'd sell it to me--how's that for a twist! ;)

Sorry about this before--had to take it on my phone

You get the idea

Cade sanded the top off for me--love when I get free help!

Super details.  I know you probably get sick of me saying this, but I LOVE it. lol

I always love a dark wood top against white.    

 These spindles have such a great texture (all crackly and flaky)--wish my camera was good enough to pick it up.  Im thinking that should be my  next splurge.

 This makes my heart flutter. :D  These drawers feel like a baby's butt. :)

The top is just gorgeous.  I used Dark Walnut from Minwax and then gave it 3 coats of poly in a semi gloss.

I really liked the shape of the original hardware, so I just gave it a light spray of black and then distressed it.

I think this one is my all time favorite so far!
