When we moved into our current home 11 years ago, we dumped the office furniture into a room upstairs and figured that we would deal with our home office later. Well, our 'temporary' home office has sat in its current condition for just about 11 years with no changes!! About six years ago, I had bought a huge (used) workstation/desk with plans to refinish one of the basement rooms and put the monster of a desk in there. That hasn't happened so the desk has sat in our garage for years taking up tons of space. I was going to just give it away to get rid of it but then I had an epiphany and thought that my Dad could help cut it down to size so it would fit into our office upstairs. I should have taken a 'before' picture but didn't think of it. I have worked this week with Dad to get it cut to fit into our office space and then I painted it with black melamine paint as it was an outdated gray speckled laminate. It is looking quite awesome and I just need to repaint the desk top and it will be ready to go.
However, as with many projects, a 'new' desk means we really should take the opportunity to paint the walls...and the linoleum floor is old and ripped in spots so we should probably put down hardwood...and so it goes. My little desk project has now become a complete redecorating of the office.
So while we pull all of the rest of the elements together, the desk sits in our garage waiting for its new home.
