Do you have a built-in bulletin board in kitchen desk area?
Comments (5)Wine corks idea is so cool! In our last project we did a small desk in the kitchen with a magnetic fabric panel, the owners had small children and didn't want any tacks that could potentially fall out... I thought it was pretty nice, but next time instead of paying extra for the magnetic fabric I am going to put a thin piece of metal on the substrate and then wrap with a fabric of clients choice.....See MoreKitchen Desk Stool - Creative Ideas?
Comments (3)How about creating a skirt for the area -- and add some simple shelves behind it for "infrequently-used" or "oversized" items? Or add the skirt -- and hide pull-out plastic chest of drawers to hide children's arts-and-craft supplies? Or add the skirt -- and build in a couple of basic shelves for extra pantry space? Or turn the whole area into a wine bar -- and create wine-bottle storage under the desk area? Just some thoughts -- hope these help! Jan...See MoreIdeas for Kitchen Desk
Comments (5)Hi Lexus, I am back and here are a few pictures - realize this is actually our sun room area - but for some it could be part of the whole kitchen. I could have put an island in here but wanted the window view - so went with a banquette. I also wanted DH to have a place for his "stuff", so built a pair of caves to flank the windows. Picture of inside of upper cabinet - using "entertainment style doors. Each cabinet has a pull out "cutting board" to use as a desk. I am moving one of Mom's lightweight bar type stools out here to use as needed. The height is too low for standing and too high for a regular chair. - Now just have to find a place for the stool to live when not in use... All closed up Another view - with the desk and doors open. Also - I made the bench so I could fold it down to open the window more easily - or if I just wanted to enjoy my full window. DH gave me music for the kitchen - put it in pull out drawer for now - someday, I will fix it up better - but you could use the drawers for your small appliances to make them easier to access. I do have power in the "cave" Picture showing relationship to kitchen - with the table "popped up" And everything open Hope these are helpful...See MoreCould you share your kitchen desk area photos?
Comments (2)Here's mine. It's a "stand-up" desk that is 60" wide and 15" deep beneath the big TV (the dining table and chairs are 3 ft. away if I need to sit down). The top three drawers on the right hold desk stuff and the bottom one holds our dog's belongings. The cabinet on the left hides the cable box and some liquor bottles. (This photo was taken when we finished the kitchen in July 2008; the countertop now is strewn with papers, pens, notes, etc.)...See Morepatiencenotmyvirtue
