Holly needed some workspace, but all she had was this crappity built-in inside her closet. Light bulb! Why not carve out a little bit of space for an office right here? She used nailhead trim over silver vinyl to cover the damaged surfaces and hemmed a Target tablecloth to hide the shelves and bins. SO cute. My workspace is jealous and wants a Target tablecloth and poky wall sculptures too!
If it was up to me, I might have removed some of the drawers for my knobby knees to fit under, but I can understand not wanting to lose any storage space too. What would you do?

September 28, 2011 at 3:41 AMI think that I’d try to rig up the top drawer to slide out and be the keyboard shelf. That way you would have knee space but not loose a lot of storage and it would still look balanced. Beautiful job! I love the fabric!

September 28, 2011 at 5:32 AMthanks for the great compliments everyone! yeah, if i owned the built in dresser i would have been more inclined to rip the bottom part out for my knees but since i don’t i am just making due… luckily i have long arms and can sit back a bit and still type comfortably 🙂 & sherron i do like your idea of rigging the keyboard on the top drawer… i may just try that…
