Desktops Complete

We had a pretty productive weekend this weekend.

Big E was as anxious as I was 

to get the office area up and running.

We used 2x4's we saved from demoing the old wall

separating the upstairs and downstairs

to make a ledge for the desktop to rest on.

And we used the closet doors for the desktop,

so we didn't spend any money and we kept some things out of the landfill.

And after just a few more hours,

we had two desks.

Mine, of course, already has a ton of stuff on the shelves,

and a sign that reads "Ghost Stories Told Here".

Big E's area is a little barren

(though I'm certain I can help fill it up)

and sports his Elvis sign.

Eventually the room will be primed white

to brighten it up and make it easier to find curtains to match.

I'm itching to be able to start using the space.

Our productive weekend kept us from having much free time at home.

 

The Office Continued

Here we have a photo showing the majority 

of my scrapbooking supplies all together in one place.

All that's left are a couple of bins and a stack of completed books

at my parents' house,

and some odds and ends up in the attic.

Since i have to go over to the homestead to get the hens ready

for the polar vortex this weekend, 

I'll grab what's there.

Big E (the husband) will be working on the desktop next.

I can't wait to have my own little space again.

In other news, I think I changed my mind about painting the walls.

I think white is a good choice,

so I'm going to go ahead and priome the walls and leave them like that for a while. 

he white will help brighten the space up considerably, not to mention it's easier to match curtains to white than to gray/blue/brown paneling.
