Coming out of the closet....

Hubs bought a new computer for his company last week, and I (yay!) inherited the old one. This is lovely in that I will have much more time to post and visit bloggy friends, but it has created some furniture arrangement issues. I ran to Ikea and bought the smallest and cheapest computer table I could find, and set it up in a corner of the living room. I actually really like it, Hubs took issue with the fact that the keyboard shelf is white, but this bookcase we've had forever is in the same room, and it kind of ties it together.

The problem is that the computer table displaced an old table and chairs that the kids used for colouring. I've decided that the kids can do crafts in the kitchen for now, and I took the old table up to my bedroom. I'm going to create my own little spot for drawing and wrapping and whatever. But -




This is now the corner of my room. This is the BEFORE. This is today's project. Hopefully by tonight I will be able to post the AFTER.

Wish me luck....gulp.

I LOVE before and after projects. I find them very inspirational.

We have those same bookshelves. I love them!
