Dave, Kathryn, and I went to the DI on Friday. It turns out that the Sugar House DI is far superior to the one we have in Logan: more items, cheaper prices and cooler things. Kathy spotted an amazing secretary (which she wanted, but had no room for, but I still feel bad) and I jumped on it. It was a little harder to talk Dave into purchasing it (he had a good case, I have a very hard time finishing projects...).
Sadly for Him, every old, sassy, (and occasionally sweet) woman in the building swarmed around him to put pressure on him to let me buy it. Comments such as, "That thing is $15 and you won't let her buy it?!" to "Oh, that is amazing! It will be an heirloom for sure," were all directed to my poor husband. Even the DI guy started writing the sold slip before Dave even agreed. When David finally conceded, (as if they would have let him say "no") a round of applause burst from the basement of the Sugar House DI.
It was beautiful, and so is the secretary.
A detail shot of the carving.
The handles are all beautiful as well.

The back is come kind of horrible lumber. I think I will have to replace that, just so it is perfect.
Here it is in its open state. (Notice the pencil holder on the bottom right? I love the small details.)

The handles are all beautiful as well.And here it is closed.
