Curio Cabinet/Desk

Curio/Desk Before
This may not be an antique, but it is certainly a unique item of furniture.
Curio/Desk After
Lucky for me, it didn't require a great deal of work as it was in pretty good condition when I acquired it. I replaced the makeshift wooden pegs (made out of dowels) which held the glass shelves, with metal shelf pegs. Much sturdier. I then glued soft felt to each peg to protect the glass shelves. I thought it was a unique piece of furniture, because on one side you can display collectibles and the other side was a pull down desk surface which instantly turned this flexible fine piece of furniture into convenient place to compose a letter, pay bills or use a small laptop computer to do your homework (if you're a student.)
