Fix by Dicks ๐Ÿ› :

We were gifted this piece years ago by Grant Brooks ๐Ÿ™

After long last, we finally got around to flipping it ๐Ÿ™Œ

As you'll see, there are before photos- a gorgeous solid wood set of drawers in need of some TLC.

We decided we needed a coffee bar for our kitchen and so we stripped the old varnish, sanded down the wood, applied a few coats of fresh varnish, replaced the old door k***s, repaired a drawer bottom, repaired a battered leg, and painted the sides and skeleton of the drawers a hand-mixed green ๐Ÿ‘Œ

We were surprised to find a beautiful red oak beneath the varnish and the natural colouring of the wood works well with the pop of green colouring ๐ŸŒŸ

This was a very special restoration for us- a desk that has been passed down a few generations in the Snyman family โค๏ธโœ๏ธ

We had a special request to upcycle it into a drinks cabinet ๐Ÿธ

After stripping and sanding off old varnish, we cut out a hole in the base into the first drawer of the desk, so that bottles may be inserted.

We then put on a new backing to the desk and installed new chains to help with holding the desk flap open ๐Ÿฅ‚
