Vintage Secretary Makeover | The Godfather Desk | Elegant Upgrades
Well, I’ve never been more offended as when my husband showed me a particle board desk because he needed one. Why not just ask me for one? Oh, because he’s my husband and wouldn’t want to ask me for something and take time away from my business. Silly man!

I did not think that I would like that secretary when you finished but, it is absolutely wonderful! You did a great job!
What a great gift for your husband. It looks fabulous and the color is perfect. Great job!
It’s absolutely fantastic! Your husband will love it. And The Godfather drawers are everything. 😀
That is a WOWZA! Hope your husband liked it and learned do not bring a pretend wood anything home, ever. Love those pieces and so masculine but still lovely.
Think this is worth a night out at a great restaurant given from the recipient of this beautiful desk. Love what you did with the sides of the drawers. I can't let the sides go anymore without doing something special to them because of you! Great work as usual.
Wow! I'm sure your husband will be impressed! It's beautiful!
100% a handsome piece of furniture and it definitely tops that boxed desk your hubby brought into the house! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh my goodness! This is stunnimg! Just beautiful! Love it.
great job, always a pleasure to watch your work, especially your tips and tricks as you repair along the way.
That turned out so great! I hope your husband loves it.
SO BEAUTIFUL AND MASCULINE! Your husband is lucky to have you! The piece is gorgeous! I love the two tones and the frame details on the small inner drawer and the external one! The only thing I would have done differently is paint the handles also black. But this personal preference... Amazing and elegant transformation! Thanks so much for sharing
I really love it. Your husband, I’m sure, will love it too!
My favorite piece so far! I wish. Could have seen your husbands reaction. Awesome manly looking piece and love The Godfather sides.
I’m gonna watch again prob tomarrow cuz worked 2 basically 13 hour day shifts Thurs and today-Friday!!! Tired, throbbing headache until around 4pm-finally started easing off to dull. 2 nurse call outs both days in a row-floor nurses having to take 6 patients each (which is too much) and I’m in charge!!!! Long 2 days!!! Have a Wonderful weekend💖🌻💖
