This customized, leather top desk came to us with a look that is best described as outdated and 'plain Jane'. With some subtle, but strong lines to accentuate, though, it was brought back to life with a two toned revamp. The frame and drawers feature two complimentary khaki and grey colors that make these neutrals stand out! A black glaze was applied for a subtly smokey look. The finishing touch pulls the piece together by way of modernized handles.   Â
