A fantastic desk named "Constantia"

This my friends....is the girl I have been telling you about. I knew she had it in her, but it took me a few tries to get her ......perfect.After tearing through layers of warped veneer, {to reveal gorgeous planked wood}, two coats of primer, four coats of milk paint, three coats of poly, and two coats of Danish oil on the top.......she is ready to rock and roll!I think back on the hours and hours that this piece took to complete.....and they seem to just fade away, as the lens tells a whole new story of transformation and redemption.I love my job, and this truly brings me joy! Speaking of joy....Matt Ayers and Sam Windell of Traveling Storytellers shot a makers video on me last week. If you would like to check it out, click here! These guys creatively directed this film, and I love that they honed in on the important things: Family, passion, joy and hard work!xo,Barb
