SHES A PRETTY SECRETARY pink secretary desk

Shes a looker alright!

The hardware is ANTIQUE with protectors on the inside of the drawers.

A metal cap fits over the post and nut to protect the drawer contents.

But I hope you didnt think I found her this way, you know me better then that.

I built the upper portion for this simple maple secretary using two discarded cabinet doors,

and some lumber from a kitchen table I recent stole the legs from.

It is secured with metal rods on the back side and can be unscrewed to separate.

She has a larger then average pull down at 16" deep,

thats why I chose this piece to work with.

The pink is a blend of pure white and emperors silk ASCP and waxed with minwax natural.

Everything displays great against the soft pink,

and its a fun color to have peeking through the glass doors.

PINK CHRISTMAS TREE holiday decor

Diposting oleh bian di 14.33

There was no plan to have a pink Christmas tree this year

but somehow it happened anyway.

It all started with this little fellow and Georges love of Penguins.

Hes silver and white and when we found him late this fall it was

decided we would do a silver and white tree.

Quickly one fat squat penguin bird lead me to this chickadee sized bird

dressed all in white.

Then to this delicate silver glass bird adorned with

long white tail feathers mounted on a spring and clip.

I did decorate the whole tree in white and silver

but it seemed to be missing something.

So I wandered around the house till I came up with that something,

2 large bouquets of pink peonies really make it stand out now.

We both adore the look.

SNEAK PEAK ...

Pictured below is the dresser I first started working on last week.

It has changed considerably since I first started and I will share the final look soon.

UPDATE: this old world style dresser reveal can be found here
