Dining and Craft Room - Day 3.

Day 3 and it seems revamp fever is spreading to other members of the family!


Today saw the departure of our old overloaded, rickety computer desk, it was originally part of an mfi bedroom set that used to belong to son no. 1. In it's place my clever hubby created a new computer station from a piece of left over worktop, donated by a friend and a bookcase brought from argos  for £15. The book case will hold the xbox and all it's games - which I hate, but I'm outnumbered and out-ruled by the males of the household, so I've given up protesting, at least it will  be pretty much out of sight now.

The filing cabinet is heading for the master bedroom, where we plan to create an office space away from sticky fingers.

Steve fixing the wooden batons in place, these will support the left hand side of the worktop.

We still need to find a solution to hide and make safe all those trailing wires. I will most likely make some pretty boxes to further disguise all the xbox paraphernalia, but I think it's still an improvement.
