Clever Space-Saving Desk in My Little Boys' Room~

Perhaps you recall a few months ago when I posted about the built-in bunk beds in my little boys' bedroom.  One of the things that I was hoping to accomplish with the built-ins was to create a room with space-saving solutions so that if feels bigger than it actually is.  The bunk bed went a long way toward accomplishing that.  But I also wanted to create a work area, and adding a desk to the end of the bunk beds was the perfect way to do that.

You may also recall from that post, that I got my inspiration from this photo that I had saved from Better Homes and Gardens several years ago.

Well, I shared the photo with my friend Tim from Millworks Woodworking who created the perfect desk for me.  

We even added a cord pass-through so that I could add the cute lamp above the work desk (and perhaps a laptop or something down the road.)

I'm so happy with how this cute little desk turned out.  I just know that my boys' will get years of use out of it!
