So let's go back to March of this year and catch up. The last post of this series will be the longest because so many of the project pieces came together within the past couple days.
Story Time:
Once upon a time we had an enormous computer desk.
Beth and I were both in school and we used the computer a great deal, so it was the central part of... well, the entire house.
Then we got a great deal on what I liked to call the Bailey Family Receptionist Desk.
It was even larger than the first one! This thing could hold 2 monitors, 2 laptops, a printer, a KVM, 3 computers, a trash can, 2 drawers of files, 2 drawers of supplies- the works! But good gravy, it took up just about half of the house. So we downsized.
Enter the Executive Desk.
We wanted something still large enough to hold files and the computer, but now we had a flat-panel monitor so it didn't need to be so deep.
Enough is enough- we're going minimalist. We commissioned the two best carpenters in the house (Will and me) to make a simple desk.
No frills- no drawers, no cable drop holes, no Murphy Bed. It's sturdy, fairly stable and very low-maintenance. But most importantly, it's tiny. It's about four feet wide and about sixteen inches deep, so it fits between the couch and the wall.
Oh yeah, and it only took a weekend to create.

Hey! The new desk looks great! Maybe you and Will should start a new business!
You are so funny! I am going to put in an order for a bookcase soon. I'll let you get through the moving and such.
alright...time for part 2 already
I remember when we took what became the Bailey family receptionist desk. We were the Sunday morning thieves.
sweat. it's always important to keep sweat at a minimum while staining wood. always remember that if more than 23 droplets of sweat fall into your stain can, the color will be slightly similar to your own skin tone.
