I've been looking at my kitchen desk this past week and wondering if I could do it again. My daughter has a space in her kitchen (sorry I don't have a photo of that space) but she asked if I could make something like it. Somewhere she could put a pantry with a brew station on the right side.
As you can see this was an odd space and I thought about it for several months before one day going to my Ob/Gyn. There it was! I was laying on the table and my feet were in the, well you know the place, and I asked if I could have my bag to get my camera. The looks on the Doc and her assistant were a bit puzzled until I told the story! "Look at that desk, it's perfect"... they laughed!
First I needed to make a pattern and used a roll of xmas paper then laid it on the wood and cut it out.
Knowing the space was tight I thought to prime and paint the wood before putting the puzzle together.
I used wall screws and L brackets to attach it to the wall and it's strong enough to stand on.
Once the desk was all put together I put on a fresh coat of paint and it go's so well in my kitchen and now I have the perfect spot for my lap top and also a space to put my hand bag and a few cook books.
Just before putting the desk together I had a new floor laid and it all came together perfectly.
I remember the Mr. asking if he could use my desk...
I will be going to my daughters soon and will get a photo of her space and let you know how it all works out. As I said before, she has an odd space that could use a good strong cabinet. I'll get a photo or two of how we do it.
As for my Doctor, I did take a photo for her to see the finished product and her smile was priceless.

"Sorry, this is my desk"!
I know I must have broken "The
cardinal rule of carpentry" but I did not have the energy to take away
the wall paper on the back wall and simply painted over it with white. Who will know
except me. Well, now you do!
I still need to get a proper chair. The space is small and I just have not found one yet. I know I can build but a chair is not something I've ever tried. There is one out there, I'll find it!I will be going to my daughters soon and will get a photo of her space and let you know how it all works out.
