Workspace Change-done

Remember my inspiration picture?

Well turns out the table in that pic is over $500.00. I never really considered buying it, but I wouldn't for that price. I headed out to the barn and found these items.

This old desk was a freebee. I've used it for display, we've used it as a paint station, and we've considered it for the burn pile. I decided it was time for it to become useful again. I removed the top, flipped it over and painted it. Then distressed and finally a poly coat.

For the base, an old transmission stand that I had. It's also had several incarnations over the year and a half I've had it. But it was perfect for this job. Fully height adjustable, and oh so industrial. 2 screws secure the top to the stand.

I had the shelves they are extras from the bookshelves that you see on either side. I had to buy the brackets to hold the shelves. Total cost $20.00 for this makeover.
It's much tidier and I love the look. It gave me an opportunity to dust all my components, and get rid of stuff I wasn't using that was just "stored" in the old cabinet.
I love a clean slate.


This is a neat little clipboard. You adjust the month by sliding the numbers to line up right with the days. It's perpetual.

I use an old industrial welding station as an inbox.




I'm happy with the result, and especially the price tag.
Now if I could just tidy up those bookshelves, but most of those books aren't even mine. ;/



Have a great weekend.
