The FreeTime "Broken-In" Desk is available from the Surfaces/Desk catalogue section for §70 each.
Contents
Of all the EA desks, the simple structure and separated cabinet allows this unit to be recoloured to look the most convincingly pre-modern (or post-modern). Sourced from eight of Michelle's Pacific Board textures, I have included a total of 32 Pooklet recolours for the drawer fronts and three configurations of the desk: "No Cabinet" (just the four-legged desk), "With Palette" (and T-Square), and "With Cabinet" (the original style). In addition, an invisible drawer front recolour supports the "No Cabinet" and "With Palette" recolours in which the cabinet itself is invisible. I would consider that the No Cabinet and With Palette models will provide the most effective antique look.
Although I was pleased with the results, the Broken-In Desk is cursed with one of EA's most non-linear and illogical texture maps (which is saying something). After much experimentation I developed a 42 step recolour procedure to bring some sense of sanity to the process.
