Prepac Floating Desk with Storage

We recently discovered this awesome wall mounted desk and decided it would work perfectly in our kitchen. We like having the computer in a public place where we can keep an eye on what the kids are doing. It also serves a dual purpose of a TV,  recipe display, or pandora radio.


Misty had an easy time assembling the desk, and then I helped her mount the mounting bracket to 3 studs in the wall and hang the desk. It's nice and secure and keeps the floor space open underneath it. When we finally get around to painting the kitchen cupboards white it will match nicely.

Kitchen Renovation - Updating the old Island.


Our new kitchen is much larger than our last, with a nice big island in the middle with integrated oven and stove. It's a really handy place to cook and eat. On closer inspection of the base of the island, we noticed that it was a bit of a rush job. Cheap plyboard covers a sturdy frame, with mismatching trimming that was barley holding things together.
