Built-Ins Around The Bed Frame - Bit Part
I didn't desire to complete the twelvemonth without giving you lot an update on how things inward my son's bedchamber are doing.
I've spent a actually skillful sum of fourth dimension inward this room, too fifty-fifty though I haven't showed you lot much, it's almost done.
So, let's motion on too beak virtually the projection itself. ;)
The lastly fourth dimension I showed you lot this room the post ended alongside the motion epitome below:
Two desks placed inward the room side to side leaving the infinite inward betwixt for the bed. You tin dismiss banking enterprise check that outset business office right HERE.

The side past times side stage inward this projection was all virtually constructing the transcend shelves.
For the sides I used 1 x 12 pino that I bought long fourth dimension agone to build the barn door, but too thus I changed my heed when I establish the relieve door.
Since the shelves were variety of long, I tried to beef them upwards to brand them sturdier. I also tried to purpose materials I already had.
Well, my vecino gave me a whole ½" plywood canvas too that's what I used to transcend each shelf.
I decided to larn out the shelves opened upwards on the underside only inward representative I needed to run cables for the lighting after on.
Both 'bookcases' were attached to the studs on the wall from the underside of the transcend shelf.
Once inward place, a 1 x 12 board equally long equally the entire wall, 12', was placed at the top.
The opening for the tin dismiss lights were done prior to bringing it up.
I added or thus supports to forbid the middle business office from sagging over time, they were screwed to the joints inward the ceiling.
It was at ane time fourth dimension to create the confront frames. My certain agency to create those frames was past times outset measurement too cutting the stiles (vertical pieces), which I too thus taped to the carcass, making certain they were correct were they were supposed to be.
Then, I placed each of the rails (horizontal pieces), were they should become too marked the cutting point. I also marked the spots on the stiles where the rails were going to live attached to.
Wood mucilage too the Kreg jig are the things I used to lay the frames together. I also used mucilage too brad nails to attach them to the carcasses.
Well, I couldn't unopen the transcend business office only yet. Some to a greater extent than lights were going to live installed.
So, piece waiting for the fixtures too the electrician to arrive, I began the epitome part.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk pigment - French Linen.
Painting the desks was easy, at to the lowest degree the frames. The drawers were a flake to a greater extent than complex. I closed upwards all the pull/knob holes since both desks had dissimilar hardware too the openings didn't match.
I decided to larn out the frame of each drawer unpainted, after all, I took me a skillful sum of fourth dimension too lots of endeavour to larn rid of the dark pigment on ane of the desks!
Since the desk on the correct manus side had to live cutting to brand it fit the elevation of the other desk, the lower drawer didn't fit. After taking the trim back off that drawer, I cutting it too re-attached the trim back afterwards.
As a lastly detail, drawer door tag labels were added. The pulls were bought here.
This is how the desks expect now. The trim back doesn't fit on both desks too they exhibit the journeying they've been through. I similar that.
The expect I'm going for inward this room is industrial/rustic, I intend they fit perfectly alongside this laid up.
2" lattice was added to the side of the shelves, I dearest it, it hides thus good the unevenness on the wall.
So, hither is where they are.
As I said, I'm waiting for the electrical, which I promise I tin dismiss exhibit you lot inward my side past times side post!
