Desk Complete.

The desk is officially complete and installed. I am very happy with how it turned out.

The total cost of the desk was around $850 in materials including the glass top. To build this desk from Pottery Barn it would have cost roughly $2800. Pretty good savings for a couple months worth of work.

Painting, I am so over painting.

It has taken a couple of weeks but the bookshelves are almost complete. I started painting them a couple of days ago and I finished the bulk of the painting tonight. Tomorrow, I have to cut and paint the backs of the bookshelves but other than that they are complete. I took a pattern to the glass shop on Friday so I should have the final pieces of glass the middle of next week and we can install these beauties to finish off the room. These bookshelves are basically twice the width of the other cabinets, but they seemed a lot larger every time I went to paint them.

Fabrication Complete

I had time to finish the construction of the bookshelves this weekend. I started by adding the trim to the top and bottom of the cabinets I completed the other day.

I then added the trim to the bottom of the desktop, this will keep the desktop centered on the bookshelves.

The remaining components completed. The two bookshelves, their desktops, the final desktop for the already completed cabinets and the connecting pieces to tie all of the components together. I will be sanding and wood filling for the next couple of days, hopefully I will be painting in the next couple of days.
