I've mentioned the flood that ruined all the carpet in my ground floor apartment here and there. In the show your desk thread I documented some of the in process changes to what remained of the setup. Here's the low rent rebuild, sans the nice seven foot bookcases that supported what I'm reinstalling on this wall.
I'll post before pics and some earlier ones that are on my phone, but took these three between yesterday and today:
The wave form raised countertop sections are the only original parts, uprights are junk plywood off flooring pallets. We'll see if I can replace them later on, but some black paint will contrast nicely with all the raw pine.
Was inspired to utilize what was pretty much inaccessible shelf surface in the corner for something interesting. Cornerish Desk setup rolls in underneath rounded overhang. Was inspired by the Mac Racks thread so this is what it looks like in a roughed in state:
Display/Rack is a single unit that ties in with the facing board for the mid-window shelf that's for plants and the like. If I'd taken it to the ceiling I might have fit in one more Compact, but the 12 foot shelf running across the room above the window, sitting on the bookcases (now in the master suite) needs an unbroken line from wall to wall. Crooked, orange edged piece of 1x12 at top defines the line of the upper shelf for manuals and Cheese Ball/Pretzel plastic containers excess stock..
Anyway, thought I'd share. More to come and I'll snatch the earlier step pics off the phone and try to find adequate "before" pics.
