So I've been working on redoing my Mom cave for awhile. This is where I do most of my computer stuff as well as crafting and sewing. The before was okay. I had a corner dresser with a bookcase but felt like the dresser part was wasting space. I wanted to have room to hide my external hard drives behind the computer (and away from the toddler) as well as have room for my printer and silhouette machine (that is still in the box because I have nowhere to put it!). So I found this corner desktop from Ana-white. Corner desktop plans Perfect because I already had a table leg and two filing cabinets and just needed the tabletop.
See the poor sad printer edging it's way off the desk? We gave the corner dresser thing to Goodwill and put the hutch on top of the fabric dresser on the other side of the room.
LOVE!! I have so much space now. It's blissful! Plus the tabletop only cost about $50 plus $15 in paint. I repainted this room Sherwin Williams Sea salt and the desk, chair and cabinets got a few coats of Sherwin Williams Dover white in satin using kitchen/bath enamel paint from Lowe's.
This is how the filing cabinet started out. I painted it white months ago but then repainted it the Dover white so it would perfectly match the desk top.
I replaced the handles as well. Some Martha Stewart ones from Home Depot. They were $4 each which is kind of expensive but I liked them and you get to the point that you just need to be finished. I think I'm going to put some cute tags over the lock holes or find new locks as the old ones were broken
Desktop progress.
The Ana-White plans called for a different table leg but since we already had that one we made it work. My husband also drilled a big hole in the back corner for the cords to go through.

After it was all finished it didn't look as "finished" as I wanted. I didn't like that you could see the wood on the underside so we cut up two pieces of cheap furring strip 1x2's and used that as molding on the front.
