Hi Everyone! I am finally finished with the custom order desk that I've been working on forever! I got a lot done on it, then had to walk away from it for a while, worked on it some more, then had other orders I needed to fill and have finally finished it! And I know my friends are anxious to get it. I shared an in progress shot about it
here. And this is what I ended up with...
Sorry for the pictures in the shop instead of beauty shots out in the yard or on the patio. This desk is heavy....
...I can move it around in the shop, but it's just too much for me to move outside on my own and the furniture movers don't work real well on gravel. I plan on taking a couple of beauty shots of it when my friends come out to pick it up since I'll have help moving it.
The only details for building the desk that I was given was the size, the color and that it needed two drawers.
I decided to add a bit of color to the inside of the drawers. I like that little bit of surprise when you open the drawer.
I painted the insides Lagoon, the same color I used on the inside of my
coffee table drawer. It's fun and makes me smile each time I open a drawer. I just hope my friends like it. I could have painted them black, but then it would be like looking into a dark hole trying to find things.
I used glides to install the drawers, making them easy to open and close.
I'm happy with the way it turned out...and hopefully my friends will be too. Would you have added the pop of color in the drawer? Thanks for stopping by.
