measure twice, cut once...

Or in Jeff's case, go ahead and just draw out the plans...we've finally begun work on my cabinets for my craft room! Yay! This has been a long time coming and when I say that, I mean this all started back before we even moved into this new house almost a year and a half ago.

We took measurements of the room before it was even done and I began to (very roughly) sketch out what kind of layout I'd like to have in terms of workspace, drawers, cabinets, etc. We've tweaked it umpteen times since then and Jeff's gotten some "practice" building his own workspace, drawers, cabinets, etc. out in the shop (as you well know) and now it's begun -- the work that is the "wall 'o' cabinets" for my craft room.

I'm super-excited about this project and plan to help Jeff some as needed but I'm under no illusion that this will come to fruition very quickly. And you shouldn't be either. However, I will keep you updated as we make progress.

As I said, this will be a slow process...so here's what I've got so far:

I know it's hard to see what we've got here, but it's the left drawer and the right drawer on the lower part of the wall. I'm going to have an L-shaped desktop/workspace and these drawer shells are on the ends of the desktop/workspace as support (and storage, of course).

Stay tuned!

I'm gonna enjoy watching this take shape, but I gotta agree with Elizabeth's comment! Snicker.... Chuckle.... You guys are really catching it, huh! I like the picture, too, Jeff!
