The Writing Desk is Finally Done!

I have been waiting on the hardware for some time... and it came yesterday.  Of course, nothing is safe from a bit of paint and wax at my hands, so I touched up the hardware a bit and then had to drill out the holes... and voila!  I LOVE this desk! 

Now of course you don't have to purchase the desk and the lamp together... but you should!  They are really yummy together, and check out how the detailing on the harware and the lamp compliment each other!

The Gray Lamp is Done... and the Colors are Yummy!

The base is a reclamation and Hand Painted in a light grey chalk paint, and then waxed.  The cream center really sets off the gray... which is light and warm and almost has hints of blue and taupe in it.

The shade is entirely new, and done in custom fabric. 

It is a very fine linen look, but a little more refined. 

It looks beautiful with the base both lit and unlit.

 

Voila! (And it's available for $95.)

I will post later about the process of recovering a shade.  Bon Nuit!
