A Builder

So one day my boss decided he was going to throw away this desk hutch.
But keep the desk.
I wanted the hutch,
so he said I could have it.
I then tried to make him give me the desk part too,
but to no avail.
LAME-O.
Well,
I was really excited to have a desk so I set about trying to find one.
I checked D.I. and nothing.
I checked prices on new ones and nothing.
{mostly I have decided that desks are expensive little boogers}
Sooooooo
yesterday at work I decided to BUILD me one.



Awesome, huh?
Basically my co-worker, Nathan, was extremely patient with me.
He cut all the peices on the table saw,
and did all the drilling while I held the boards together.
But hey,
I DID nail the backboard all by myself.
And then I brought it home.



I was going to have none o' that two toned wood business,
so I immediately set to work to paint it.
{uh, sorry about seeing my foot in that above pic, I meant to crop it and forgot}


Doesn't it look a million times better?!



I then proceeded to screw in these L brackets to attach the hutch to the desk.
All by myself.


And THEN came the fun part of sorting through alllllllllll my closet junk,
and throwing away what I didn't need,
what I wanted to keep,
and reorganizing the whole thing.
Except sometimes I get distracted when doing this and go for walks down memory lane.
I used to love collecting erasers when I was, like, 10.
My favorite was always the pink, yellow, and green ice cream cone.



WooLa!
My own personalized work space.
I'm in love.
And Kevin was impressed.
