Enter-the Instagram challenge.
As a relatively new blogger and new Instagramer, I was scrolling my feed one day and came across an Instagram builders challenge. I was instantly intrigued. You know the moment when you read something and you are like, was this written just for me??!! And wouldn’t you know it, the builders challenge was a desk this go around. Instantly I knew I had to join and be a part of it.
The way this challenge works is they provide you with a plan as inspiration. You can take that plan and make it exactly to the list of specifications or you can make any modifications you like as long as they can still somewhat see your inspiration in the piece (i.e. don’t build a chair if they are looking for a desk). Our office needed an L shaped desk to provide more table space for my tornado, ahem- husband, to work and maintain an orderly space. Also, in order to maximize table space, I knew I wanted printer storage below the tabletop.
The Plan
The plans came from DIY Huntress and you can check them out here. In the original design there is a panel on the left side and three drawers on the right hand side. For my design, I swapped things around putting the panel on the right side and adding the storage section on the far left. In the middle, I added a L-shaped support piece to help support the corner of the desk while keeping the chair side free from any legs.
