About a month ago, my wife acquired a desk that belonged to her father. Her father passed away back in the early 80's. It was in pretty sad shape. I had to rebuild some drawers, and tighten several joints. I removed all the built up varnish and stain taking it down to bare wood. I stained it completely inside and out with a stain called Cabernet by Rustoleum, then put on 5 coats of Polyurethane. It took all month to complete.Its going to be my new tying station.

Nice job. :applause Plenty of storage without having everything scattered. Plus it will always carry that certain sentimental value that makes it priceless.

It's still a work in progress. I built a pegboard frame and installed it above the desk. I needed a place to store thread, so I built one to go all the way across the desk. I am also building 3 shelves to go above the desk.

Looks great! Interesting accent colors, but to each his own.

I've been seeing that color in a number of vintage camping trailers that have been remodeled and sort of liked it.

I wasn't able to capture all in one shot, but I wanted to share the end result with everyone. I need a chair now! My barstool I used to use is too tall. I used 1 x 12's for the shelves and finished them in the same theme as the desk.

Looks just like a new house! Remember to take some photos after it has been used for a while. That's when it will have the homey look to it :)

Great job refinishing the desk....the color scheme is exactly what a person sees in homes here throughout New Mexico. Very nice! Of note, I have the same desk I inherited from my Grandparents...love it and cherish it.

I too really like that desk. And, MKA is correct, that turquoise color reminds me of the Land of Enchantment. I can almost smell Hatch green chiles roasting outdoors (Sandia variety) just looking at your tying desk. Well done.
