China Cabinet Turned Office

Would you believe me if I told you we haven't had internet access at home for the past almost 3 years? It's true. I have access to the internet at work, so I never felt the need to have it at home too. But that has now changed. We left our caveman ways behind us, and we are now online at home. Yeah! So I thought this would be a great time to give our computer desk a little face lift.

This is actually not a computer desk at all; it's a china cabinet!

See? We haven't actually used it as a china cabinet for awhile now, and it doubles quite nicely as a home office space. I just had to adjust the shelves a bit, drill a hole in the counter top for cords and wires to drop down, and voila - china cabinet no more. Add a few baskets for storage, a bulletin board, a computer, and it's now a fully functioning office.

The space underneath is great for storing not-so-pretty things, like drawers, bulky things, and a printer.

Just because a piece of furniture is designed for a specific use, doesn't mean you can't use it for something else!
