Cara’s Office – Reveal
My built-in office cabinets. are. done!!!! So, remember when you gave birth and you were like, “I am never going to forget how my body felt”, and then three short months later, you totally were on board to possibly have another and go through it all again?? Yeah, it’s about the same after building a massive desk and office.

In all seriousness, I am so glad I started with the hardest project in my house, because now all of the others seem small in comparison. I think I just need a small break before tackling my next build! I started this project in April and between working full time and traveling for my job, and kid activities, and summer vacations, I finally finished. Can I just say, I love how it turned out and can’t wait to unpack all of our stuff and fill those bookcases?!
As a little surprise, I am not even sure that Sandra knows that I added a corkboard wall and desk grommets for electrical cords, but I did and I think it will be very useful. Here is all 23′ of desk and our beautiful office furniture!

This whole experience has been a wonderful one. Sandra has the patience of a saint! Thank you Sandra for sticking with me to the end!

I love Cara’s room! It is beautiful, functional and pure awesomeness. I am proud to have been a part of this DIY journey. ~Sandra
OMG Cara!!! This is awesome! I couldn’t wait until you finished and look at that! AMAZING!
Soooo cool! You showed this built-in who’s boss!
Amazing!!! Its gorgeous. You did an awesome job Cara! Almost has me convinced I can tackle a similar project at my house. I am curious if a cost breakdown would be possible on these finished projects?
IN.CRED.I.BLE! You should pat yourself on the back about a million times…what an amazing job!
So, so, so beautiful! What an amazing job you did!! You should be extremely proud of yourself! And I love the turquoise wall on the end! (And I love that Sandra is posting the plans – that is above and beyond what I would expect but super appreciative of it!). So much to love!
