I didn't desire to complete the twelvemonth without giving y'all an update on how things inward my son's chamber are doing.
I've spent a actually proficient total of fourth dimension inward this room, together with fifty-fifty though I haven't showed y'all much, it's almost done.
So, let's motion on together with utter almost the projection itself. ;)
The lastly fourth dimension I showed y'all this room the post ended amongst the pic below:
Two desks placed inward the room side to side leaving the infinite inward betwixt for the bed. You tin cheque that start role right HERE.

The side yesteryear side stage inward this projection was all almost constructing the overstep shelves.
For the sides I used 1 x 12 pino that I bought long fourth dimension agone to build the barn door, but together with hence I changed my withdraw heed when I constitute the salve door.
Since the shelves were form of long, I tried to beef them upwardly to brand them sturdier. I also tried to exercise materials I already had.
Well, my vecino gave me a whole ½" plywood canvass together with that's what I used to overstep each shelf.
I decided to piece of occupation out the shelves opened upwardly on the underside but inward illustration I needed to run cables for the lighting afterward on.
Both 'bookcases' were attached to the studs on the wall from the underside of the overstep shelf.
Once inward place, a 1 x 12 board every bit long every bit the entire wall, 12', was placed at the top.
The opening for the tin lights were done prior to bringing it up.
I added about supports to preclude the middle role from sagging over time, they were screwed to the joints inward the ceiling.
It was right away fourth dimension to create the confront frames. My certain agency to create those frames was yesteryear start criterion together with cutting the stiles (vertical pieces), which I together with hence 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 together with marked the cutting point. I also marked the spots on the stiles where the rails were going to live attached to.
Wood gum together with the Kreg jig are the things I used to seat the frames together. I also used gum together with brad nails to attach them to the carcasses.
Well, I couldn't unopen the overstep role but yet. Some to a greater extent than lights were going to live installed.
So, patch waiting for the fixtures together with the electrician to arrive, I began the icon 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 fleck to a greater extent than complex. I closed upwardly all the pull/knob holes since both desks had dissimilar hardware together with the openings didn't match.
I decided to piece of occupation out the frame of each drawer unpainted, after all, I took me a proficient total of fourth dimension together with lots of endeavour to larn rid of the dark pigment on 1 of the desks!
Since the desk on the correct paw side had to live cutting to brand it gibe the superlative of the other desk, the lower drawer didn't fit. After taking the bring down off that drawer, I cutting it together with re-attached the bring down afterwards.
As a terminal detail, drawer door tag labels were added. The pulls were bought here.
This is how the desks hold off now. The bring down doesn't gibe on both desks together with they present the journeying they've been through. I similar that.
The hold off I'm going for inward this room is industrial/rustic, I intend they fit perfectly amongst this laid up.
2" lattice was added to the side of the shelves, I honey it, it hides hence 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 present y'all inward my side yesteryear side post!
