In reply to brenda. Yes, the keyboard slides out 12 inches. You can also buy drawer slides that come all the way out and would give you even more room :)

In reply to Midsommarflicka. It pulls out 12 inches and allows for leg room in a normal sitting position. There are drawer slides that come all the way out and would allow for much more leg room.

after reading about the questions re making room for knees and feet, I had assumed that the keyboard was a pullout shelf so I would imagine this allowed for plenty of space in that config....???

Good for you! Upgrading to a new computer... I don't have Internet at home, so that's make me feel better when I see you still have a land line... Cuz not having Internet at home also makes me feel like I'm still in the dinosaur age. :) Nice, savvy project! Gold star.

That's very clever and beautifully done. I don't think Windows 8 will ever grow on me. I can't stand it.

I love your office (your desk is great too). The colors and organized open shelving are perfect. Definitely pinning for inspiration!

This turned out beautifully. I wanted to say that a landline is still important, as some others have mentioned. Having survived both 9/11 and hurricane Irene this year, I can tell you that the cell towers DO go down and you cannot reach anyone without the landline. So don't feel badly for still having one it is smart!

I have a secretary desk that I have used for years now for my MAC and I love being able to close it up and hide everything away!

Your office is so charming; love the color scheme. Great looking cabinet. Someday I need to put in slides. Right now the keyboard shelf just slides on two strips of wood--vveerryy low tech. Interesting to read about all those paints with special properties. I think I'd be tempted to put a sheet of metal in the cabinet instead of so many layers of magnetic paint. Re the land line: I still have one AND I still use my old rotary phone from the days (for you young folk) when we used to "rent" phones from the phone company (and I bought mine when they stopped doing that). It was built to last, and has. (I also have a touch tone because the rest of the world works that way.) And I'm still holding out against buying a cell phone. My DH told me what a friend of his pays in service fees for all his technology (cell phones, computers, etc). It's about four times what we pay. Technology is wonderful and amazing, but it does cost a pretty penny.

Great job! Did you know that if the power goes down, you will only be connected to the outside world with your land line? Those cell phones do not work without those towers.... No power for towers, no cellphone!

Great job on the armoire. BTW, we still have a land line, too :-D. Hubs won't give it up,, lol.

That's a wonderful transformation! Gorgeous!
But i would worry as well, how you sit there. I need to stretch my legs while sitting at the computer…

Love, Midsommarflicka

I absolutely love this idea! I had to look and look to find your computer tower, love how it's hidden behind your flat screen monitor :-) Hubby just recently set up a computer in the playroom for our kids (my 5 year old uses for his "Reading Eggs" computer homework). Currently, the computer is set up to use the tv as the "monitor" - but it isn't positioned ideally. I actually have an armoire in our garage I may be able to repurpose something similar. I love functional pieces, that are also beautiful in form, and hide all the electronics when not in use. BTW, we are "techie" type people in our household. And while we don't have a landline, we do still have "dumb phones", lol!
