The loft has been a shameful mess for, oh, about a decade. We finally did something about it.
What started with a cardboard prototype turned into a full-on build—panel glue-ups from pallet wood, rusty vinegar stain, some sketchy lofting techniques, and boom: a custom shelf unit with a secret drawer and a little bit of dignity.
It’s not fancy, but it fits, it holds things, and it makes the loft feel like a space again—not a long-term storage unit with bedding. Small victories, honestly.
Sometimes you build something not because it’s necessary, but because it feels good to solve a problem with your hands. And because you’re tired of tripping over Chex Mix tins full of screws in the dark.
