We have a large wardrobe with rolling doors in our study which we don't really use, so I cleaned out one side of it and enlisted my Dad to help install a little desk and some shelving inside it. It was an idea I'd toyed with for ages but never really had a reason to put into practice, and it worked out even better than I'd hoped.
Dad even installed a little light in there for me! It literally took him one afternoon, including buying and sawing all the boards - so impressed. The best part is that when I'm finished working on something I can just pull the door closed and it's all tucked away out of sight. Voila!Still to do:
1. I want to attach a rack for all my thread spools to one of the inside walls - I'm thinking I might have a go at making something like this:
I got the idea from this blog and I love it, although I think it might be a bit ambitious for me as I've zero experience with woodwork of any kind.
2. I've bought some small storage tubs for things like buttons and safety pins which need to be mounted on the wall also.
3. I would love to decorate it in some way, maybe painting or sticking something against that back wall which looks pretty bare at the moment. But I don't know whether I'll have time as the spare room/nursery is still far from finished and time is running short.
