Antique Bureau

Have you ever had your heart pitter-patter over a piece of furniture? It probably happens for me more often than for most, but I have to tell you...this one had me at hello!




This is a genuine antique...no pressed-board drawers here!
Each drawer pull is made of 6 pieces. You can't find these at the hardware store.

She even came with the original casters on her feet!

After some tender loving (and painting and distressing that weren't so tender), here is what she looks like...

  15. Looks great. Looks like what I did to one of my mother-in-laws chest years ago...she is now 95! It worked great for a nursery,
    Enjoyed,
