Ladies Writing Desk/Vanity

I LOVE making these ladies writing desks/vanities.  This one is more of a ladies writing desk, but can be used either way.  It started as a plain desk.

With a bit.. ok a LOT of work...

some appliques ..

and some elbow grease..

(make sure you have vice clamps..

or you can just stand there and hold it for 1/2 hour like I did)

Layers of paint, crackle, more paint and glaze...

and of course the real beauty is on the top

A collection of vintage Paris images....

Se Magnifique!!

A lot of work... but worth the effort I think, don't you?
