The bits underneath are the components of some quarter round corner shelves which will be mounted on the left side of the shelves. She will be doing the sanding and painting. I have an idea it will be cream, to match her bed, but knowing her, I'm not placing any bets.



I'm not a fast carpenter, I'm not a slow carpenter. I'm a half fast carpenter.

Nice. Looks good and functional. I'm sure that she'll love it.

I hope you don't mind me posting a thought about it. It looks like the shelves that are sitting on top has a gap between the shelfback and the desktop, and in the photo it looks uneven (which may be an optical illusion based on light from the window behind it). I'm not sure if/how the shelf is attached to the desk. But you could maybe run a little shoe or cove molding down that gap That way there's no chance of anything slipping under/behind the shelves (papers, pennies, paper clips, etc...).
