apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Although it borders on being a slightly a bit too "country" for our tastes, we really love the concept and could see painting it a fun pop color for an unexpected twist on a desk. The reader wrote "... I used scrap wood painted white for my shelves instead of glass" (which apparently was used in the inspiration example.) We found a really expensive version for sale here., but think this would be a much more affordable weekend DIY. Has anyone done this in their home?

Update: We found the person, Margo, who wrote the letter and turns out she's a blogger too! She's got some great ideas re-using old items on her blog. She explains how she made the birdcage organizer here.
