This was one of those items I spotted at a yard sale and thought...
"How can I re-purpose that?"
Ah-ha! Got it!
Here are some before pics...
As you can see it used to be a secretary desk, but the piece
that you would fold down and sit at was no longer there!
So I filled where the hinges used to be, with wood filler and sanded.
The molding at the bottom was missing too!
But I do love the hardware!!
After the wood filler was dry and sanded
I primed, painted, added new molding and distressed.
I added two baskets that fit nicely inside the open area, they match the hardware too!
You can use these baskets for sorting mail, hats and gloves... you name it!
I really should have taken more during pics, but as usual...
...I got caught up in the process of making sh*t shine : )

That is awsome! I need a catch all at the back door.. wish I had room for something like that.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great foyer piece! I love the baskets! So smart of you B! Hey thanks for posting the wallpaper giveaway on your sidebar!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! It looks great, too. I'd have been so daunted by that and most likely wouldn't have added it to my growing collection of furniture to redo. Heck, I can't even make myself start to paint a piece that needs no more than that. :-( But this is inspiring me to pick up that paintbrush.
ReplyDeleteVery clever adding the baskets! I think it turned out great!
ReplyDeleteI have a secretary in the middle of my room. I could leave the desk part down if I had nice baskets. Thanks for sharing the idea. :) My problem is that my desk droops. I've had it over 30 years but it's still in great shape. Maybe I need new hardware (like the stuff you removed). lol
