Finish my desk and organize my work area

Last update: Did I get everything done that I wanted to? No. I underestimated the amount of resin I needed, so the far right of my desk didn’t get done, I need to paint the molding on the front, and I still have some organizing to do. That said, I’m very excited about the results. I was trying to do a black marble finish, and it looks pretty close. I was initially enamored with the glossy finish, but the constant mirrored reflection was distracting. I sanded it down with a 2000 grit pad, and I must say I like the matte look better. I don’t think the pictures do it justice.

I linked an album of different stages below. Even though I feel like an eternal lurker here at Day9TV, I’ve still felt encouraged and motivated by the positivity in the community and from Sean and his team. Thanks! I love my new desk!

Progress pics

My desk is cleared. I’ve sealed it, and the resin should arrive tomorrow. I’m very excited about how much progress I’ve made!

Cleared desk

So, it’s been slow going, but I’ve made progress. In the photo below, you can see why I have trouble finishing things. At the front of the desk is a prototype desk zen garden that I’ve been working on. I’ve attached a vibration motor to the bottom to try and get it to reset itself, but I either need more or a stronger one. :P. You might spot other projects in varying degrees of done, and it’s easy to get distracted (Yea, ADHD!) by any one of them. I plan on doing a lot tomorrow.

Update 1, mostly clear

If anyone looks at this feel free to ask about anything on my desk :D
