Living in a pre-war apartment comes with equal amounts of charm and challenges. Original moldings; thick, sound-proof walls; and hardwood floors? Charming! Outdated plumbing, a minuscule kitchen, and an even smaller bathroom? Pretty challenging, let me tell you. Although I'm reluctant to do major changes to the bathroom so I can preserve the original tile, I'm anxious to ditch the pedestal sink because of its extreme lack of storage.

When my wife and I mapped out how we were going to build a desk, we realized that, at the end of the day, a desk is really just legs supporting a desktop. But what I wanted to make the desktop sturdy and long? And what if we wanted to have ample amounts of storage rather than just small drawers that were built into a unit?
