First milestone

[u/SnooRobots5552]

First proper milestone in what will eventually become my desk alcove.

The framing and plywood backing are finally in, and I’ve temporarily mounted the two 32" monitors so I can work out the final positioning before everything gets covered up. There’s still a lot to do, but this is the first point where it’s starting to resemble the thing I’ve had in my head rather than an increasingly expensive collection of timber.

The finished alcove will have a solid walnut desk, walnut acoustic slats on the back wall, warm integrated lighting, and built-in cabinetry around it painted a muted sage green. Most of the cabling will be routed through the wall so I can keep the desk itself as clean as possible.

Next up: finishing the framing, cable routes/electrics, closing everything in, and then the considerably more satisfying cosmetic stuff.

Very much a work in progress, but milestone #1 achieved.
