DIY Giant Built-In Wall Desk {Updated}

I shared this DIY wall desk I put together a few months back but today I wanted to share an update with even more ideas for customizing this on your own! With school starting virtual and many families needing a dedicated place for their kids to work, I thought it would be a perfect time to share this project again! This is pretty affordable and easy to do, and is great for creating a large workspace with plenty of storage. I listed and linked the items I used, as well as the steps of how to put it together! I have loved have this workspace and have been using it constantly- it’s so comfortable and sits at the perfect height for crafting, art projects, or working on my computer.

DIY Inexpensive Large Built-In Wall Desk

I am so excited to finally be putting together a blog post about my giant built in desk in the office space! This is pretty affordable and easy to do, and is great for creating a large workspace with plenty of storage. I listed and linked the items I used, as well as the steps of how to put it together! I have loved have this workspace and have been using it constantly- it’s so comfortable and sits at the perfect height for crafting, art projects, or working on my computer. What I love about this project is that you can use the basic idea and materials I listed but really customize it to fit your own space/style! Whether you use different dressers, knobs, or a countertop- there’s so many ways to create this awesome built-in workspace on a budget! Let me know if you try this project and how you make it your own!

Thrift Store Table Modern Makeover

I am continuing to work on my garage office makeover and a couple weeks ago I found the perfect round table for the space. I just happened upon this table at a thrift store and loved the unique base and shape, plus the size was just what I needed to float in the center of the room! The table cost $30 and I already had all the paint I needed to give it a quick makeover!

Our Fixer Upper: Office Renovation Progress

There’s been a few spaces we haven’t even touched since moving in to our fixer upper. One of those spaces is this awesome bonus room space above our garage which was undoubtedly the nastiest room of the house when we first moved in. The space was filled with badly stained (and stinky) carpet, holes in the walls, broken windows, dust and overall dinginess. We didn’t really need the space for anything right away, so it just sat there and became storage for the first few years we have lived here.
