Love the beaded panels! Papers to Grade ~ Papers Graded

So the next piece of furnishings is this old turn of the century roll top desk I acquired from an older gentleman who had acquired it from a NE Georgia college back in the 60’s. The fabric holding the slats had torn and needed mending but other than that about all I had to do to it was repair...

Thanks impala, I really appreciate your appreciation! Passion and vision has gotten me to where I am with this build. But don’t look to close at the workmanship 😁 Thanks Jon! Thank you! Well damn, THANK YOU BF Looks like a survivor! Love the four doors!

Thanks Bird!

Applied some felt pads to the bottom of the base and wheeled it into the office.

Then applied the English Chestnut stain to all but the top. I mixed in some Sienna Red at 3/1 to the EC and applied it to the center of the top. Then applied two coats of Matte poly to the base and three to the top.

Applied the rough sanded flooring to the top then cut down some beadboard for to trim it out with. I also found the few pieces of interior trim from the old farm house and cut and applied it. I had a VERY limited number of pieces of it so had to ensure the miter cuts were right. I only had a 6"...

Applied the bead board to the sides then pulled and cleaned some of the old nasty flooring. Again getting to the bottom of the pile.

Almost forgot and how could I. The final electrical was done and the two MrCool units were energized. Finally looks like somebody is home Lights in the office.

My wife suggested and I agreed that a dark gray would give a somewhat metal/utility look to the window sashes. Excuse the poor lighting pictures.

Thanks Jay. I think I left 100% back in my 60's, been going down hill er since. At 72 I'm OK with cutting down to 5-6 hour work days vs 8-10. Two Alleve in the morning, two more mid afternoon and if I did too much that day an Alleve PM about an hour before bed time. Some may recall I had...
