The steps below follow the order of the work for this workshop project.
Hi, it’s Sandra from Sawdust and Paper Scraps again. Here is another room that is “mostly” finished. It still needs a few touch ups but it’s functional so I’ve moved on for now. I don’t have any pictures of my progress. I’m amazed at how much I didn’t take pictures before blogging. It’s impossible to get a picture of the whole room but here is my very best attempt at photoshopping all the parts into one photo of the whole unit. I know, it’s a total method job but like I said, It’s my best attempt! This house was all shades of ugly when I moved in. You’ll just have to use your imagination…it’s an empty room with orangy-brown window, base and door moulding.I hate wasted space and always try to get the most storage out of every space I design. I built cabinets across the entire back wall, creating 2 computer stations and a T shaped countertop that could be used from either side for crafts or work. I built one cabinet with 2 drawers in which the bottom drawer is a file cabinet. The other side has shelves and doors. At the end of the T is an open shelf cabinet. The countertop is made out of oak flooring that I installed over a plywood base. I finished it with Tung oil. The uppers are staggered. It makes for trickier crown moulding installation but it’s visually interesting. I’m so excited about my new found photo-shopping skill that I’m going to show you again! Yeah, I’ll keep working on that one!
