Will we get more pictures of the new desk set-up? I love diy modded custom stuff, even if it's just tiny bits, like adding wheels to a large nightstand and realising that I can add my final bed drawer back (I have four built into the bed - I had it customised from a set of options), because the nightstand is now high enough that it doesn't bump into the drawer handle anymore.
Sure, once I get the crud that's strewn everywhere else in the office put away in it. :) We also have a few inserts (drawers, cabinets, and smaller cubbyholes) that go into the big squares, like where Nefer is, to put together tonight before I can really get stuff put away.
We'd originally been thinking of just installing shelves on the wall behind my desk, but than saw the cabinets and IKEA and the idea went from there.
Great ^^ - I have three Billy shelves in my home office myself, but because there's a lot of room it's fairly boring, just high shelves with and without doors.
My biggest mod there is using some DIY steel shelving as the basis for making a magnetic board that runs across one of the walls behind my desk (at that shelf width). I had some wood cut to size and used the holes in the shelves for the shelf... legs? (can't be bothered to look up the correct words) to screw through those into the wood and then screw through the front of the wood into the wall. Then I painted the wood in my wall colour. I could conceivably paint the boards with some appropriate colour for metal, but I don't really mind the brushed metal look.
Nifty! I don't mind brushed metal, either: the cabinets we got for part of the hutch are laminated in something that looks like that, so I just got brushed-metal legs for the half of the desk not resting on drawers to make it look deliberate. :)
