Pottery Barn Should’ve Done This From the Start

Pottery Barn may have built it, but they definitely didn’t finish it right.

This vintage PB desk came to me buried under thick gray paint and some painfully basic knobs. But under all that? Solid wood. Dovetail drawers. Serious potential. So I stripped it down (literally), layered on a custom combo of glaze and stain, and brought it back to life.

The result? A handcrafted, one-of-a-kind piece that Pottery Barn wishes they still made.

If you love furniture flips, hate mass-produced mediocrity, or just want to watch something go from drab to designer—this one’s for you.
