We finally got our home office set up in the eat-in kitchen area. It was really just a matter of clearing the area, unrolling the rug and unpacking the desk items from the move, but it's taken us a loooong time to get here. I've been so patient, can you tell? ;) I feel so much better now though! We had the iMac set up all over the place until now - sometimes on the console table in the living room, sometimes on the dining room table, and even on the kitchen counter (I know!).
I haaaated our old desk (a hand-me-down from Mom - don't worry, she hated it too;), so I forbade it from the move. But that meant we needed a new desk. In the midst of a major reno. Good move me, right? Enter insanity. Last fall, I purchased an old metal (read: insanely heavy) desk on craigslist with every intention of painting it the same blue shade as our cabinetry. Until moving said desk into sunroom and shivering every time I saw it because it meant another 'project.' I loathe the desk now. It's still sitting there btw.
So where did this beauty come from? Well I decided to buy
another desk and I loved this desk from Ballard, but it retails for $1000 and I just wasn't ready to commit. So whaddya know? Shannon found the exact same desk (albeit well-loved) on craigslist for $80. True story. And now it's mine. Er, ours. :) Hurrah! Don't you just love craigslist?
As you can see, the chi thinks all rugs belong to her... much like everything else in the house.
We spent all weekend cleaning house and finishing up a few small projects (including rug shopping - unsuccessful so far). Here are a couple of funny pics from the weekend.

I've been collecting magnets for over a decade now, one from each place I travel to - though some trips I remember better than others! I noticed while tagging each of these that there are quite a few cities missing, most notably Chicago where I go at least 2-3 times a year.
