My husband’s grandparents passed their old work desk down to me to use as my workspace. It’s about 100 years old and has a roll top. I have spent the day organizing all my things into it and soon I will label the drawers! I can’t wait to use it! Just had to share! Look how big it is compare to Laila and Skya’s heads!
Nice! They look like minis! lol
That is absolutely gorgeous work space! And all those drawers, on my…!
Thank you! The very top middle is my favorite. It holds all the certificates! Believe it or not, there are 8 babies in the three bottom right drawers! This thing is massive.
That is wonderful and absolutely perfect!
My husband asked which drawers he could use for keys, bills, etc. I said none! Find your own space! Lol. I need all those
I LOVE that desk. Definitely protect it well. It might be a valuable piece of furniture. Perfect workspace, though.
I don’t think they make them like that any more. Nice! Maybe a glass pane over the top would help protect the wood finish.
Yes! I always use them!!! I love pee pads.
I know! It’s so sturdy. Missing a few things here and there but just perfect. The roll top actually works too! I was thinking plexiglass might work!
Thanks! It has so much character down to the cigar burns from the original owner laying them on the edge. My husband looked them up and definitely very valuable. I am very grateful to have received such a piece of history The window above the desk is an old window from my grandparent’s house. I’m a sap! I love old things!
I love old things, too. I like owning a tiny piece of someone else’s life history. Making a collage frame out of the window was genius! It looks great.
My other favorite piece is my giant oak mantle that was removed from my parent’s 1870 home. My house was built in 1903 so it fits in just right
I lived in a 1906 house for 11 years. It was my favorite place I’ve ever lived. So much character and history. I had to move when it was sold. I cried when they told me they were putting it on the market. I still miss that house and it’s been 14 years.
I love old houses. We have so many weird things- a dumb waiter (it’s boarded over), an old doorway converted into kitchen shelving…etc. But luckily the word work is all intact- and not painted!!! I hope to stay here forever.
If anyone is good at identifying wood, I would love to know what it is made of!
That is super nice!
Yeah, plexiglass would be perfect!
I could even put a pretty print underneath!
