  1. Wow, I totally need this in my spare room. I have a desk and an old sewing cabinet. I’m thinking about scrapping them both and building a long corner unit that will extend the out 8′ along 2 walls. Computer space and project space. Like you I need one space to do the majority of my projects and not have to use the dining table.

    What wood did you use for the top? It’s thick and beautiful!

    1. Hi Toni,

      I LOVE my workspace because I can make a big ol’ mess and when I am done I can shut the door and leave it behind. I was using the dining room table also, and I was getting tired of feeling like everything was spread out so much (the dining table mess tended to spread to the kitchen and living room as well since they are all connected!).

      We used 1 X 12 pine boards (very affordable!) and there is a 1 X 2 piece that is nailed all across the front edge to hide everything going on underneath. When I am going to do something messy (paint or glue) I just put a large trash bag underneath what I am doing and it keeps the table top looking good.

      If you want some extra pics to see how it’s put together, let me know.

      Have a lovely day,

      Randi 🙂
