An old table... a new desk





The house has a room that we call "the study". It is beautiful, but we were missing one important item....a desk! We did, however, have a huge granite kitchen table that we were no longer using. We decided to take apart the table and re-use the skirt and legs for our desk. We purchased a bamboo counter top for the desk surface. My favorite thing about this item is that it has plenty of room for both of us AND I think the color turned out just beautiful!

Pictures include the "blue print", the materials just prior to starting, and the finished product.

  2. This is bigger and granite is porous which makes it difficult to write on....
