Wishes do come true!!
Update on my craft room ...... My dear sweet husband and I had a friend (who made our kitchen cabinets, bathrooms cabinets and entertainment center) come over and look at the room and take measurements for my craft room desk. Its a fairly small room and granted the desk will go around on 3 walls but it's not HUGE! Anyway, he took measurements and gave us some ideas of what he would do and then said he would go home, work up the figures and then call us in a couple of days.
In the meantime, my dear sweet husband and I went to Lowes and bought all the materials for the shelving that he is going to put in my room. $400 dollars just for shelving!! WOW! We started Monday night after I got home from work and my hubby put in 4 long shelves in the empty closet. So now with the top shelf that was already there plus the storage space on the floor under the bottom shelf ...... I have a HUGE amount of storage space just in the closet itself.
NOW, he is going to put up shelves on the two long walls. 3 on each side. AWESOME!!
Then yesterday while I was at work, hubby called me and said our friend had just called with the "QUOTE" on the desk! GET THIS ..... $1100 BUCKS !! Just for the desk! He does a fabulous job but really ..... for my craft room ..... I don't think so!!
We both agreed that was Waaaayyy too much moola!! So I thought about what I wanted and together hubby and I came up with a solution!
I have 5 of the Jetmax cubicles. I always wait till I have a coupon or they go on sale and then I buy one or two. This is not my room but just some ideas of what we are going to do with my room.
I will purchase 7 more cubicles as they go on sale. Hubby will put a support piece of wood on the wall for the back of the desk and we will use the cubicles (2 deep) for support in the front.
He is going to purchase the top of the desk from Lowes and it will cost $75.00 dollars. After I get the cubicles (on sale of course) we will finish it up!
It will be similar to these three pictures but BETTER! I can't wait to post my own pictures!
AND THE BEST THING IS THAT IT WILL COST US AROUND $800.00 TOTAL! Sure beats $1100.00 that we would have paid JUST FOR THE DESK TOP!!!
I LOVE MY MAN!!!
