(pardon the dust, renovating is messy business!)

Oh, I just adore her. 🙂

Removing the frame was tedious, but it’s done! Tomorrow, I’m going to out the carpet and all the staples, then get to work on the desk since I won’t be able to reverse it as is. I’ll have to take it apart to flip some components as well as cut a notch into it because the wall on the opposite side isn’t flat. The vent pipe goes through the corner so the wall was built around it. By cutting the notch into the desk top, I’ll be able to make full use of that side of study and give the desk a built-in look. The desk was finished to fit on this side, so it won’t look as nice once I fit it on the other side, but I intend to paint it the same colour as the cabinets later, so it’s fine. I debated getting a ‘proper’ desk with lots of cubbies and storage but decided to stick with this one because it is so lightweight. Plus, it reminds me doing the initial renos a year and a half ago (already!) with my mother.

Well, it’s midnight-thirty and the night is young so I’m off to work on other projects. Days should be longer than twenty-four hours!
