Information I wanted to show off a little

So I wanted to show off a little. I moved to Cleveland at the beginning of winter and due to the snow and the mess and the fact that I moved in 1800 square foot apartment into an 800 square foot apartment things have been out of control, and I've been doing my diamond painting on my coffee table, which pulls and raises up and makes a table. But still... But still... I have a huge easel and light bar and all that stuff and it always looks messy no matter what I've done.

So my son outlaw (he'll be my son-in-law when he marries her 🙂) built me this! It's two old Ikea tables that I had, and the legs on the Ikea tables are file cabinets - I wanted/ needed shelving but it was impossible because the walls are made of concrete and you can't put a nail in them for anything. So...

He took pieces of my grandsons first twin bed and welded them to make this shelving unit. That's 7 and 1/2 ft long and then put beautiful wood shelves on it. Brought it over and bolted it to my tables!

So I have a 10 and 1/2 ft table and I will be able to put my easel on the one end where there's an open spot but I haven't put it there because I've got a work in progress and because I need to get electricity over there for my light board and such but things are coming along

Very nice! He sounds like a keeper! (Son outlaw made me laugh).
