so my office is far, far from being how i envision it looking, but we are making progress people!  last week i painted the walls white (as you can see they were grey before and it was just too dark.  my workspace needs to be white and bright!) and stained the desktops so now they are a darker wood.  the day we moved in, we found these ikea desks on craigslist at an office liquidation sale in pasadena.  we got ’em for a major bargain too which always feels good.  and a bargain of an ikea price really should qualify as a triple bargain!  the only bummer about these desks is the fact that they have no drawers or storage component.  i resolved this with a dresser and some shelves that are all set up now on the wall opposite of the one shown in the photo.  next up is finding some artwork for the walls and some bulletin board type fixtures to use for inspiration boards.  it’s shaping up in here.  will share more soon!
