Trash to Treasure - Pump Organ to Desk

 I just wanted to share the desk that my husband and I made from an old organ I got at a local thrift store recently.
 Here is the good man unscrewing dozens of screws, I actually pitched in and unscrewed a few myself.
 At this point the main guts were out, and he is working on taking out the bellows, just above the pedals.  Then last of all, off came the pedals!
 He built in a desk top made from antique oak table leaves, and the doors below are also made from an antique table leaf.  The drawers and cubbies are new wood.  We loved the idea of using a few of the organ stops for the handels on the drawers and doors, just as a nod to its heritage. Then I, of course, did the painting.


... and here it if for sale at Treasure's Antique Mall.  

The good man told me not to bring home another organ for at least a year, he said he needs time to forgot.

I am posting this to Miss Mustards Seeds, Furniture Friday

White and Wood Antique Mall Display,

This past week I got to redo my favorite display area at Treasures North ...

Since I am definitely going through my white phase ... I decided there was nothing else that would be as much fun.

I love this yard stick shelf that Kole of Treasures fame, put together ... I thought it was perfect for my white and wood display!

Another clock, of course ...

... and if that is not enough white to suit you, stay tuned, because I am moving and redoing my white booth at Treasures South, and will be sharing all its fine whiteness some time next week.  I even got the new spot painted today too ... ah yes, what is it about white that is so satisfying?
