Craft Room Desk

I learned something this week. Cutting wood late at night is the same as cutting fabric. You shouldn't do it! I wasn't paying attention to the way the wood was turned and I cut it wrong. TWICE!! I debated for several days what to do and then I broke down and just went and got a new piece. I really wanted the bullnosed edge so that it would have a more finished look to it.
DH and I got the corner bracket up. We started drilling for the other and realized that we were hitting brick instead of a stud. We had to go borrow a stud finder. We couldn't find ours! I have marked the stud, but with DH's oral surgery and company this weekend I haven't got back in there to finish the brackets. I need to paint the desk and drill the holes in them for the electrical cords. Once I have them up, I will have a good idea of the placement. My computer is going under the window, and the sewing machine will be over by the closet. I think I am going to move the bookcase to the corner between the dressers and the desk. That way I can have that one wall for the wire cubicles that hold on the scrapbooks, magazines, pictures and negatives. I am starting to wonder if I am going to get all of this in!

I didn't want to have any unused space. When I was on the internet looking for organizatinal ideas I saw a peg board gift wrapping center. I am going to do one of those behind the closet door. It will fit perfectly. I will put up rolls of paper and have all of the tape, scissors, ribbon ect hanging with it. I am really excited about it! It will be great at Christmas time for all of us.
