I took a weird office/desk/closet area that my son used for homework for a little while but mostly unused wasted space for years & turned it into something we will actually utilize :) I removed the bulky cabinets (can you believe I didn't remember to take a before photo?! Duh!), chopped off the back of the desk and built a frame to repurpose it into a bench, added board & batten, and built some cubbies for storage on top with 3/4" mdf.
