Room revamp. Pinterest style.

As Levi starts to accumulate more toys and is getting less and less content sitting and playing in one spot, we knew we had to come up with a better plan of how to use as much space is our little home as possible. So... with a little time on Pinterest, we had an idea. The plan was to make this.

We wanted it to be more like a desk so Andy and I could have our own workspaces and we could still 

have enough room for Levi's toys. After a few trips to the hardware store and tweaks to the dimensions and plans of the actual desk, we finished it! (We still need to get the decorative hardware for the top, but the woodwork is completed)

            For the original plans... you can find them here.

To build our version of the desk, you will need these materials: (the dimensions of our desk were: 66in long x 33in tall x 28in wide)

 - 8  2x4's at 8ft long
 - 4  2x2's at 6ft long
 - 3  2x8's at 6ft long
 - wood glue
 - wood screws
 - decorative hardware (L brackets for sides of table and old style nails for top)

instead of putting the bottom and middle boards across, we left them out so we could put chairs underneath it and create more or a desk. We followed most of the original plans and just omitted those steps. For extra support, we also put a 2x4 across the top 2 sides, so it wouldn't sway.

we still need to finish arranging the wall decor and putting on some final touches, but I am pleased with how it turned out. Looking forward to no more drawing straws for who gets to use the desk when!
