LED lights and a new drawer

Yep, I am finally getting with the 21st century. A smart-phone (which has proven to be not-so-smart after all) and now LED lights inside the van. I had already installed LED recessed lighting (above) a few months back, but now even the normal lamps have LED bulbs in them, making a nice white as opposed to the stained-tooth-yellow that I had before.

Also note the new support which holds the center weight of the long overhead shelf. It replaces the ghetto looking 1X1 that was in place before. This is a little cleaner looking and allows me to better use the counter top. (PS – I raised the shelf two inches as well, it helps a lot)

My final completed project, for now, was the desk drawer. I saved it for last because I was not sure I had the skill to do it. At first I thought I would buy a pre-made drawer , but I went for making one myself anyway. Plus, this drawer is a huge 26 inches wide by 18 inches deep (go big, right?)

Now that I feel I have completed the 2014 build, I wish I had gone ahead and replaced the wall panels when I had the chance. With all the freshly stained and new wood in there, the old walls really stand out. It is a bit larger of a project then it sounds; involving removing the ceiling, upholstered top-panels, and the windows before I can rip out the old stuff. When I do get around to doing that, I will not reinstall the upholstered areas and instead go with stained wood paneling… 2015?
