In the name of craftiness

With the new bed in my bedroom the old writing desk I used for nightstand and whatnot did not fit there anymore. I do a lot of things in my bedroom besides sleeping, like reading, watching TV and most importantly knit. Which means I have to put things down, so I definetly needed something there. Of course with spending all that money on the bed I could not afford anything fancy. Headed out to IKEA, bought the cheapest possible thing that would fit into the space I had, which was a raw pine shelf ... then started thinking.. .Shall I leave it raw? Shall I stain it? Warnish it? Paint it? Since the bed is white and the chiffarobe (god I like that word, even though I could easily say gardroe cabinet :-) is pine both version could have worked. Then Kim convinced me, that it would need something anyway, and if I get my hands in something it might as well be white paint.
Do remember that I live in a 69 square meter apartment on a tent floor, so the only place I could do it was the narrow floor space in the kitchen.

It dried for two days and I got out some screw drivers and put the thing toogether in the even smaller place in the bedroom:

Then put it in its place...I know I have a lot of practice to do if I want to pain perfectly something, because this is far from perfect. But I did it, it serves it purpouse perfectly.
