ClassicTractorProfessor 5,261 #1 Posted November 29, 2020 One of the things I really liked about our new house is the fact that it had an extra bedroom on the first floor I could set up as a home office. But I was lacking one major thing that every office needs...a desk. As such, I’ve been doing paperwork in the living room on the coffee table, which drives Tasha nuts. When Mom and Dad came down for Thanksgiving, they brought me this old solid door out of a room Dad tore out in the shop, as well as a tall file cabinet. So with that door, a few 2x4s, and a mirror from an old dresser, I now have a place to do all my paperwork. It’s not done yet, I plan on putting a better looking top over it, maybe some laminate flooring like I used on my Grandpa’s desk we fixed up for him when he retired, and I gotta do something with the mirror. I really don’t like looking at my ugly mug when I’m sitting at the computer . Probably gonna pull the glass out and install a dry erase board, cork board, or combination of both in its place 7 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve got two Farmalls myself, a 53 Super M LP and a very special to me 51 M. The tractors on top of my desk are all the letter series tractors, only one I’m missing is an M, so I stuck the Super M-TA up there until I can find one. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought about that, but this door has a window in it that needs to be covered up, and it’s got some pretty knarly cracks and holes in it in places too 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only 2 mirrors here and one's behind a door where it belongs. I like the cork board idea. I'm not in the habit of using a dry erase board but I'd use the cork board for a nice visual to-do reminder place. I used some laminate flooring for the top on the big "L" shaped workbench downstairs. That was a good decision. The space looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got these comfy chairs in the office at work. first thing we do is paperwork from the day before. Real hard to get out of them most days! For that mirror, get one of those "funhouse" mirrors. Good for a laugh every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
