Desk built in to a closet - requesting pictures

[Kimberland30]

Our office also doubles as a gym. I had a picture posted on the other site in a journal that I can no longer find. :(

We'd like to utilize a closet that we use for storage and put in a built in desk. The picture I had was exactly what we were looking at doing, but now I have to start from scratch and design something.

If you've seen such pictures, or have the same thing in your home, would you mind posting them? We'd like to use the closet space for a desk top and shelves, and build in shelves on the adjacent wall for my crafts. My wonderful brother volunteered to build this for me as long as I can get him a design. So I guess I'm also looking at workspaces for crafts. I'm thinking on the wall adjacent I'd like some type of work surface...maybe a small area.

TIA!

Similar to what I'm looking for...

OMG, that last picture is EXACTLY what I was looking for! That's the one I had, but the website I linked is no longer active, so it wouldn't show up. Thank you SO MUCH!!!

ETA: Duh, I just realized that the website link I tried to post had a space in it where there shouldn't have been one. Whoops!

Well, I am glad that I was able to help you out. I think it is really neat idea and a great space saver. Please come back and post pictures once you are done doing it at your house!

Sure thing! It's going to be a few months because we want to buy the house before doing any type of construction to it, but I can't wait to get it done! We are quickly running out of room :)

There's an episode of Divine Design that is reairing July 25th at 2:30 Eastern that has a desk built into a closet. She took the doors completely off, though, and now it looks like a nook. It's cute.

What channel is that on? I know I'll forget so I want to DVR (Tivo) it. Is that HGTV?

It's HGTV :)

Thanks to everyone who posted pictures! What a great idea! I had never thought of that, or seen pictures.
