Headboard to double duty desk and storage.

Here is the Headboard to double duty desk and storage project, as promised . OK, so,These are the kind of bed room furniture you see that covers the entire one wall in a bed room.They come with the 2 large matching end cabinets , an overhead arch with lights and 2 large sheet mirrors. The mirrors and arch may be used another day, for something. We payed $75.00 for every thing. People are almost giving these away because of there size.
We simply built 3, 2x4 squares , inserted them up under the headboard, for strength and legs . Then we covered them with veneer wood panels and stained to match. Creating a space for our feet and plugs to be hidden ,the power strip can be mounted up under ,out of the way. We use wire less keyboards and mouses. But I did show (on the left) desk space, one of two ways ,you can use wired. They can come out the front, as shown, or you may choose to drill a hole. See more, below...
You just pull down the door,lift out your key board and mouse and instant office. More below....



And there is a bonus. A trap door where you can store all your extra reams of paper and and other stuff.This holds a lot of paper reams. Scroll down...more pic's.

 You are sharing a desk/ but not mixing your work on some one else's space. And this desk only comes out 1 1/2 feet from the wall when not open and 2 feet when open.    Scroll down, 4 more pic's and text.....
Now just look at all the storage in the cabinet above !  This is what I refer to as my office supply storage cabinet. This baby holds a ton ! And you get 2 of these . I use the other one for all my kitchen items, I only use for special occasions. Out of sight, no clutter ! So, the next time you see one of these set's for sale or free for, hauling away....
