Fe Fi Faux

I love antique furniture. But how often do you find the perfect piece? That fits your space? For a price you like?

Old desk with a new outlook on life

I found this old oak desk at the thrift store, a bargain at under $20. It was just what I have been looking for a work area that will fit all of my beading supplies in its ample drawer space. It was missing the pull out surface on the right, but I figured I could cut something to size to replace it. The only thing was that I hated the drawer pulls. They seemed out of proportion like very big noses on small faces. Sorry — I see faces everywhere! In the knots of wood, leaves and branches of trees, etc, etc, etc. In this photo you can see that I have already removed the pulls.
