Well,  kind of almost. I have the beadboard paper on. I ended up brushing white glue onto the wood and applying the paper dry. That snot paste would’ve taken ages to dry and got all over everything. I think this small piece will forgive me.

I waited a bit to let it dry some, then caulked the edges. I also caulked a few areas where there were narrow gaps that hadn’t shown when the desk was darker, but did after it was painted. I might paint it tonight; I should wait until tomorrow, but I’ll have aquarium plants to deal with then. Dunno. Anyway, I hauled it roughly into position, and once it has a door, drawer, and keyboard shelf, it’ll look the way I want. It’s not bad, even now.

There. I did one coat of paint. Maybe should’ve waited, but go big or stay home!
