In his quest for low-country furniture inspiration, Norm visits the renowned Monterey Square in Savannah, where he meets antique map and print dealers, Virginia and John Duncan. On their charming veranda, he uncovers a classic planter’s desk, historically utilized by cotton and tobacco growers for their accounts. This versatile piece is perfect for a small home office, boasting elegantly tapered legs, a hinged top, and ample shelving for storage, including space for a compact computer. Back at the New Yankee Workshop, Norm constructs this desk using reclaimed pine, finishing it with a soft pastel stain for a delightful “pickled” effect.
