Just a little to tide you over...

So it all started with a little pillow that I came across at the local tar-jay. [Well to tell the the truth it all started when Chris put his foot down and said it would not be smart to sand down our orange peel textured walls to apply wallpaper. sigh.] That however is a story for a different day.

So back to the business- I found this pillow and told Chris that I wanted to try and paint the same pattern in the office. He happily helped me tape off the wall. We of course had to use his version of measuring and leveling instead of my normal "eyeballing it" technique that he does not particularly care for.

After a few hours of taping, a few hours of painting, and a few hours of entertaining spectators (cody and rachel) we were left with the final product at 3:30am on saturday night, well sunday morning that is. The top left hand corner matches the pillow and the rest is our own little flavor.

I still need to get two matching chairs (that do not have rollers because having rollers on this THICK carpet is completely pointless) and figure out some type of cord management so our feet will quit getting tangled up under the desk. So what do you think? Pretty close or what?

It's so weird how little that desk looks since it is actually very large in person. I have to share the computer with Chris on Sundays due to the ever exciting creation of Fantasy Football Leagues and figured I would need extra space to do real work, like homework for example.

The computer and printer took up much more space than I had planned for but I am still pleased with my $70 steal at IKEA (aKa Home Depot for girls).

The other side of the office is still "under construction". I hope to have it completed by the end of this weekend, but Chris' graduation ceremony is tomorrow so I don't know how much I will get done before or after that exciting event! (no sarcasm, I am very proud of him)

If I do finish, I promise to post the finale on Sunday.
