Chippendales Pull and Steal The Show

The Chippendales steal the show on this one… and ladies… I’m not referring to the hotties at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas.

I came across this desk at a yard sale 17+ years ago. This was long before I ever imagined I would start my own furniture re-styling business. You see, didn’t I tell you?…  I’ve ALWAYS been on the look-out for great finds. 🙂

 

 

This desk sat off to the side, lonely and isolated from all the other yard sale items. It wore a big “FREE” sign because it was in dire need of some TLC.  I didn’t really care that this piece was “broken” because…

1. Dad could fix ANYTHING.

2. I loved the Vintage Chippendale Pulls.

3. LOvEd the Vintage Chippendale Pulls!!!

Once Dad repaired it, the desk sat in my spare bedroom for years. It followed me when I moved, and then sat in another spare bedroom for years. There were a few attempts to paint it, but the job never got done.

 

 

 

Now that I custom paint furniture, I thought, enough is enough.  Give this desk {and beautiful hardware} the attention it deserves. I decided to make the Chippendale Pulls the focus by leaving their original patina and painting the entire desk a classic white.

This piece sold quickly and I’m so happy it’s in a home where it will be used and appreciated. No more sitting in a spare room waiting for its day to shine.

Let me know what you think… and are there any other vintage hardware “groupies” out there?

Enjoy you day!
