I finally got Isaac's desk done and moved into his room, well we moved it into his room.
He already has his dirtbike number carved into the side of the desk. Well... I admit, I carved it.
We got it all set up under his bed, complete with a super power strip (10 outlets)above the desk (see the cords), lamp and Guitar Hero stool.
We got some good stuff set up on the desk. Little shelf, desk organizer, some of the books that he is currently reading, his computer (and power cord), Gameboy charger, mp3 player charger, cell phone charger, all the things a boy needs at his desk.
And here he is, as if he were doing his homework. Set up under his bed with a rockin' new desk. All the charging a boy needs for his electronics, sharp pencils in the drawer, and plenty of small toy distractions. Oh yeah, you can't forget that it has a view out the window.
For those of you who I have not talked about this desk with. It is a small desk that fits under the loft bed that we built for him 2 years ago. It matches the bed with the scuffed black paint and natural wood inlays. It also has a sweet, boy twist, diamond plate aluminum inlaid in the top. I put a 2x6 frame around the top with diamond plate in the center. I used a bar top finish that put a thick clear finish over the top and made it smooth enough to write on. There is a nice sized drawer in the middle of the front. I made a little pencil tray in the drawer with two separate compartments under the tray. I did find my project brand and branded one of the wood slats by the desk leg. I hope this desk gets years and years of use.
