I'd like to make a craft station on one side of a small bedroom. Suggestions?

I already have a strong shelf up. I also recently purchased another smaller shelf with hooks that needs to be installed. But need to find an inexpensive med sized desk with drawers for storage. Want something fun and functional. Not sure this will provide enough room to work and store all my supplies.

big deal as its usually on one side near the top or bottom, Simply put that part on the side facing the top of the file cabinet.

I like Woodbridge's idea. I also saw a crib turned into a craft station: http://www.hometalk.com/148320/crib-turned-c... as well as a dresser turned into a craft station: http://www.hometalk.com/443799/dresser-to-sh...
