An Accidental Trick

I was determined that I was going to get my desk done today so that I could start moving in. My mom is coming to visit Wed and the guest room has been taken over with my stuff! Imagine that!!

I went down this morning to put the varnish finish on my desk. That is the last thing to do for the desk. I started and within about 10 minutes the guys were really complaining. I must have bought varnish instead of polyurethane. The difference in smell was amazing! It was really bad. No one was very happy with me. The treat part of this whole situation is that I can start moving everything into the room. It isn't done, but it is to the point that I can start moving in.

The piece in the middle of the room is going to be my cutting table extension. It was the piece that was leftover after the cutting accident ;p I figured I should use it. I have hardware to attatch it to the desk when I want it. On the other end I will put hinged legs. When I want to cut something out I will just take it out and attatch it to the desk, with the legs down. When it is not in use it will tuck under the desk.

Over on the left side you can see that part of the desk is sticking up. That actually was done on purpose. I had to put a bookcase right in front of the plug for my computer. I cut the desk so that I would be able to get rid of the cords, and get to the plugs if I need to. The desk under it supports it, and it matches the other side will so there is no gap.

I am still going to put up the pegboard for the wrapping center and a peg board and cork board on the wall for the sewing area. I also want to do a fabric window treatment. That can be done later though.
