Did you know burl wood is an abnormal growth found on a tree that has typically experienced some sort of stress - like insect or fungal infestation? Rather nice material for being an unwanted arboreal house guest, wouldn't you say?
I've been eyeing this particular desk/vanity/console made of burl wood and lucite for some time.

Contact Paper via Ebay (could work, or could be very, very B.A.D.)
Veneer sheets via Ebay - Gets the award for best looking, but also requires more of an investment...oh, and serious application skilz.
I'm sounding crazy, but the call of the Burl is getting stronger!
I'm a decorator, wife, and busy mom of three. I believe in elevating the average space, and bridging the great design divide. I love homes, and aspire beyond builder-grade blah. This blog chronicles our own home projects, what inspires me, and sometimes, just what's on my design-track mind. Taking ordinary homes to higher levels is my little happy place.

I'm so with you- love the burl and lucite combo- I can't wait to see you DIY this- really...please do it so I can see how it turns out- I'm guessing it will be FABULOUS!!!
My friend Tina has the dining table version of that desk... and it is to DIE for!
