YET ANOTHER Project checked off the list

Together my MoG and I have been working on finishing some projects as we try to get ready and settle our home for our new little addition.

This desk has now been through 3 re-vamps.  I originally built this peace while in college for a project while I was studying for my architecture degree, and in its original form it was supposed to be a "Sanctuary Piece" in the form of a chair. Don't ask me to explain the definition of the project, because I didn't fully understand it then, but I selected to create a chair that looked like miniature canopy bed.

When I no longer had a use for the "Sanctuary Piece" but still did not want to let go of my hard work, I decided in the first re-vamp to convert the piece to a desk for my husband on his 40th birthday.  So I secretly used my BiL's shop and created a VERY large 4 x 6 desk (at the time we had two desk top computers and I wanted them both to fit on the desk).  One part of the desk never got completed, I had cut the opening for the keyboard tray, bought the hardware for the tray but ran out of time to complete it before his birthday.  So the keyboard tray never got done because it ended up going to the bottom of the project list once the desk made it into the house.

This is the only picture I could find of the desk, you can see it is 

much deeper in size and that the keyboard tray is absent.

So recently we had to give up our office as we began the process of getting ready for child #3 and we could no longer afford to have a separate space for an office.  I still did not want to let go of the piece because I had made it, and so I asked my MoG to convert the desk for a second time, this time to cut down its very large size and make it more of a bedroom size desk, and here is the finished results, along with a completed keyboard tray.

The legs are my favorite part and were the posts for the original piece.  I don't think I would be hired by a furniture manufacturer for my leg turning skills, but I think they turned out pretty good (NO pun intended).

We still have a long way to go on our project list, and I imagine that it will always ebb and flow in it's size, but we are at least making some headway.
