    The desk is a perfect example of re-using things in order to complete projects without spending additional money. First the base is a closet door from one of the bedrooms. It was really beat up and we did not want to re-hang it as a door.\u00a0 The wood section is actually left over boards from when we installed the floor in our master bedroom and office.\u00a0 The blue paint is one of the dollar mis-tints that we picked up to use at the beginning of the renovation. These can not be return so this was a great use for a “waste” otherwise.\u00a0 Cords are always a issue with computers and desk. Matt made the door knob hole bigger and salvaged a plastic ring from the bed we got rid of to make a nice cord compartment. To mount to the wall, Matt used scraps of lumber he had from building both Zach and Kendall’s bed. We did end up purchasing molding to finish out the top, the keyboard tray and one leg. Less than $20 for a desk that is big enough for a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n

    Spending Totals for Renovations<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Budget information:$1000<\/p>\n

    Total Spent $1049<\/p>\n

    As I stated at the beginning of this project, when the money runs out we are finished. I am really pleased with how far we were able to get with this project. Zach will still need another dresser for his room and Matt definitely needs “storage” cabinets in his office along with a message center\/ white board. But these are all things that will have to wait until we can afford them.\u00a0 We actually have complete much more than I anticipated in fact, I now have a “scrapbook\/couponing” desk of my own. Pictures to follow of course!<\/p>\n
