MadHatter says thanks for all the comments! We watch so many DYI shows, made me think of one of the shows. The shelves that the TV and players are on are left-over peices of our old kitchen countertop he cut the backsplash and lip off, then trimmed with 1x2 trim which is screwed on, counter sunk, then painted wooden plugs in each screw hole.

The desk I thought he was going to go insane on, lol. Started with plywood, trimed like the other shelves and left a small lip on top. He took a sheet of white shiny stuff, damn I can't remember the name of that, and inset it in the trim frame, so he has a really nice surface to work on.

He cannibilized two keyboard drawers from his old desks and he painted then faced them with more of that white shiny stuff, then used 2x4's to attach it to the desk.

Oh and he beat up all the trim and legs, then destressed painted it too. Mounted it all up and he is good to go.

We both have small offices, so it was great to build in the desk like that, and get more floor space. I'll be doing something similiar in my office, but I'm going to have pale lavander instead of tan.

I've had different DYI shows on while I'm working all day, and I need to STOP watching, I keep seeing projects I want to do and I don't have enough time.
