DESK FROM CABINET ORGAN

How Worn-Out Musical Instrument Was Converted Intq Really Useful Article of Furniture. We had a worn-out cabinet organ made of walnut. My husband and I decided to make it into something

useful. We took the stops, keys, etc., out and made six pigeonholes, three on each side. In the middle we left a place for account books. We fastened the lid below, which made a nice place to put magazines. We then took out the pedals and the sides and made two compartments. One side I use for linens and the other for baby’s clothes. We revarnished it and it made a lovely desk.—Mrs. Bertha West in Farm Progress.
