With two artists in our house, my husband and I have a lot of drawing pads, rulers, triangles, and t-squares. With our basement project in full swing, our hall desk has become a clutter-fest. So I whipped up a new desk specifically for this space. With storage space for large drawing pads and everything else it puts all of our gear away while still giving us easy access to what we need. While a built-in option was definitely on the table, I decided to make a free-standing piece we could take with us should we move. I used solid ash for a great honey color and the base is steel.
This group of photos includes the Sleep Station in Walnut, Pernille Side Table and Pattisson Chair in blackened oak, the Record Cabinet in remnant birch ply, the KD (knockdown) Sofa in stained oak with orange corduroy upholstery (designed in 2001 to fit into my dorm room as well as into my two door Ford Escort for travel), and Stol 1 designed and built during my study abroad trip to Denmark.
Desk and Chair in almost finished condition; steel is still unfinished and Ash chair is awaiting a finish to match the desk. Photos of the finished pieces coming soon!
