Our Office

Well, I hope to redo our entire office during my little break in August! I'm getting excited! I've been hunting for cute furniture thats not too pricey and trying to organize. I tend to do my hw on the couch and have started getting back and neck aches and think that might have to do with it, therefore I decided I need a good desk to do hw at as well as a place to think without the tv in front of me, and also a room I like and want to go in!!

I haven't bought anything yet tho....:-/ BUT I found a desk I like, that I'm thinking about...its a little pricey but it's the cheaper version of the pottery barn one I am in love with....see below....

I also would love to find some antique piece that isn't overwhelmingly chunky for storage in the room, I'm having trouble though...I've found pieces I like that are too expensive, or ones that need refinished and I'm just not sure I would follow through with that....so I'm stuck there. I found a great one that is a great color yesterday...however it seriously smelled like manure...ya... so I'm thinking about it! ha

I think I'm coming close to determining the right paint color....a very light gray....at first I wanted to stencil an entire wall...its adorable believe me. however, everyone that I read that did it said it was so much work they wouldn't do it again etc etc. It would look great but maybe some other time....ha

Also, I just found curtains I LOVE! on a website called westelm , I never heard of it but then I saw ladies throughout the blogworld talk about it, so I checked it out. The curtains seem a little pricey to me, but finding adorable curtains in a clearance bin is just almost impossible for me! I'm so impatient! ha
So those are my plans......we shall see what gets done before September...my goal is to have a place to do my hw for the fall semester, one thats organized and beautiful! However, I was supposed to make curtains for my living room before Christmas 2010....still bare..........:-)
