The basic secretaire is a chameleon. Give it a job, fashion it for performance and attractiveness, and it may be organized, saved and displayed in a number of methods. We have taken a contemporary tackle this trusted piece and, with slightly styling magic, put it to work in three positions.
Within the dwelling or eating room, a secretary’s desk serves as the best bar. Go for equipment in woody colours with a little bit of brass so as to add a contact of cocktail lounge fashion. Stow most of your liquor bottles within the locked space for storing under and reserve the cabinets for eye-catching items. Arrange the “desk” space so if you decrease the hinged panel to serve, company get an enormous reveal.

A particular room in your make-up is opulent. The secretary is an ideal pampering place. A lighted make-up mirror is a should. From there, take cues out of your decor when selecting equipment. A tray for often used objects is important; bigger bins within the closed part manage objects corresponding to hairbrushes, home equipment and bottles of lotions. A stool, just like that in a salon, is the best companion of the washbasin.
