I thought I was in one of those dream sequences from the show Absolutely Fabulous. But I wasn't.
We had to use found items and other items from a used-furniture store that the maintenance god there repainted for me. He also did a knock out job with the craftsmanship on everything including the great paint job on the walls.

But, as you can see, I did it and when completed I had people in the newsroom thank me afterwards as now they didn't have to meet city officials, college presidents, the Mayor, and colleagues in a room that looked more like an interrogation room fit for any spy or action movie.
Enjoy!!
