Farmhouse Desk DIY

Finally got the hubby to help me build the farmhouse desk I pinned on Pinterest awhile back. (http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/08/diy-desk-for-bedroom-farmhouse-style.html)
Total cost was around $100 give or take. This included wood, a pre-made pine surface for the top, sand paper, a (still unused) Kreg jig, new saw rings, stain, poly urethane, and a new paint brush. So you could probably get away with spending around $60 if you only had to by lumber. 

Here's the inspiration...

Here are a few progress pics(we didn't do a great job of getting many pics).

We are planning to get aluminum chairs from Restoration Hardware and I'm looking at architect swing lamps. The desk will hold my laptop and a few pictures. Can't wait to get it completely done. Here's what it looks like in the house! We ended up completely re-arranging the furniture but are pretty happy with the look as of right now. 

What diy projects are you working on?
