****UPDATE- ITEM NOW SOLD****

Latest upcycle complete 🙂.

A vintage leather top kneehole desk in need of a little t l c . The veneer was a bit past its best in areas and most k***s were damaged or broken completely. I didn’t particularly want to paint this piece, unfortunately veneer restoration isn’t something I have much experience in!

Now it’s 2 bedside tables and ready for their new home.

Primed and painted in a classic warm neutral - Tikkurilla Everal Aqua, colour matched to Farrow and Ball ‘Stirabout’. Repurposed pallet wood tops, dark stained and protected with ‘Rocktop’ and new cup handles.

Please DM if interested 🙂
