-23/11/05 - We decided we're gonna do the master bath remodel ([/notes/house#projects](/notes/house/#projects)) next year, so I'll be migrating my office into the den so my better half can have this one and because we're turning one of our existing offices into part of the bathroom and a walk in closet. 
+23/11/05 - We decided we're gonna do the master bath remodel ([/notes/house#projects](/notes/house/#projects)) next summer, so I'll be migrating my office into the den. We're going to be turning the other office into a dressing room/walk-in closet as part of a bathroom renovation and the better half will be moving into my office. Here they are now:

-I'm going to build a custom desk and stain it up to match the existing mantle, rafters, and cabinetry so it looks like it's original. I measured up the den wall at 168" wide and 96" tall and I whipped this up as a start.

-I'm gonna combine the now mostly neglected easel into my desk. What I'm not going to do is turn my garage into a woodworking shop even though that's tempting because I have some experience with it. The only thing new I'll need there is some new clamps, stain, and fresh sandpaper belts. I'll build the 16 foot desktop and use prebuilt cabinets on the wall with the big painting on it right here 👇🏼
+Since it's 14 feet long, I'm gonna combine the now mostly neglected easel into my desk. What I'm not going to do is turn my garage into a woodworking shop even though that's tempting because I have some experience with it. The only thing new I'll need there is some new clamps, stain, and fresh sandpaper. I'll use unfinished prebuilt cabinets and match the dark walnut stain to the existing mantle, rafters, and wet bar(aquarium stand) so it looks like it has been here since the house was built.

+And while I'm at it, I'll likely upgrade the old [mac mini](https://davidawindham.com/mac-mini/), add a keyboard, and integrate the audio and video into it. The 96" space will allow for two people to work side by side. I'm also planning on having a lift on the I'm estimating the cost to be under a grand sans mac studio. I'll continue using it as my daily day gig, but I'd also like to venture into some more creative endeavors. I'm really hoping it'll put my eyes on the canvas as much as the monitors, but most importantly it'll be much easier to take a nap on the sofa or let Iris in and out.
