Modernizing a Vintage Bespoke Furniture and Radiator Cover

Vintage Secretary with Leaded Glass Doors

What piece of furniture is actually scaled to properly fit in a small entry way? Usually, a console table or a bench is the first choice. But what about a slim secretary desk instead?

I found this vintage oak secretary and decided to give it a new life for a modern family. We had it painted a pale blue gray and changed out the hardware to oil rubbed bronze cup pulls from Restoration Hardware.
