Junior High students need all they can to succeed in their homework these days. Our oldest
granddaughter wanted a desk for her room and my hubby ( her grandpa) just had to make one for her.
Being a purist in woodworking it was hard for him to paint it. Everything else he has made has been stained and buffed to a brilliance. His favorites woods being oak, walnut or mahogany. Since this was going to painted he used pine and poplar.
He used fleur-de-lis door knobs and handles, she loves New Orleans. He also has the availability at the wood shop to do engraving so he added a cross on the drawer.
This year is going to be a good one I know--she's ready.
The recipient is on the left wearing the blue plaid shirt on her waist.

What a great job on the desk. Something to really be proud of.
A lucky girl and both girls are so pretty.
Your hubby did a brilliant job making the desk, with the personalized touches too.
Hi Ann,
What a special desk, handmade by Grandpa! She cannot help but be bright. Isn’t it fun finding blues (like that skirt) to share?
Happy Blue Monday!
I agree, that's a very special handmade desk!
Thanks for dropping by.
Hi Ann, The desk is so well done. Perfect for a young girl. The cross is a very special touch from her grandpa. I am sure it was made with so much love for his beautiful granddaughter. Love her photo with her 'also' pretty friend. This will be a life time treasure for her to cherish.
Hugs,
Jeanne

Wow, lucky Granddaughter.
Your Hubby does amazing work.
Hope you can visit San Francisco next year. I know you will enjoy it. Best time to go is Sept. or October...that's when "summer" decides to visit. Of course, the pundits are saying that we will have a huge El Nino this winter so who knows what the weather is going to do.
That's beautiful. Your husband is a very talented man. I loved that girly little cross too.
He's got skillz!
