Laptop shelf

December 23, 2009 home December 23, 2009

My dear hubby made this great shelf for my work laptop in my home office where I work every day I’m not traveling for work. I needed to hide my ergonomic keyboard and mouse and…mission accomplished! What a great workspace I now have….and for so little! Costs: Wood – 1/4 sheet MDF – $8.50 Paint – $3.99 Wood Putty – $2.99 Screws or nails and other tools we already had in our workshop Total Costs – pretty cheap :) I still have a lot of work to do in my office – like hang my diploma to start!  I’ll get around to it….hopefully before we move!
