Name that Color

 In the end, instead of painting it,
we decided to gently sand the entire desk

and to strip and stain the top to match the distressed patches.

A couple of coats of wax and some intense buffing
 produced a beautiful result.

The color?  My wife calls it "Moody Blue".

Always Something

Soft Grey Sofa Tables

 I took apart a vintage table, carefully salvaging its parts,

 and created two sofa tables!

 They will find new homes soon...

my wife is SURE of it!
