The Cycle is Broken...

It seems I have snapped out of my laziness rut...

Friday night, I came home and decided to do this...




Two, yes two boxes of Revlon ColorSilk #47 were needed to cover all the gray...yes...I waited way too long to do this...

This weekend, Antonella and I went wandering around the Bay Area. We checked out all our favorite Thrift Store haunts, picked up a few things and then ended up at Ikea....where I purchased this...




A small computer desk...here's the instructions... 7 pages...




after a zillion pieces and much knashing of teeth and cussing, I have this...




A perfect for me and my space computer desk that coordinates with my coffee table (also from Ikea) since it will be in the dining area...which is basically one almost biggish room.

Antonella also clued me in to a small rolling table that she used as a printer stand back in the day. Sturdy and just the right size...and on wheels like the desk. Sure enough Ikea still carried it, but it was not in stock. But it was last night, so off I went to get it...




So what if it is supposed to be a bedside table? After a bit less knashing of teeth and only half a zillion pieces, it's now my printer table. So there.

And Viola! Donna's new home office...just ignore the dresser scarf and cloth napkin...I still need to get some desk pads to protect the finish on these little guys...and ignore the cords hanging all over...still working that out too...

  1. Woo Hoo!
    Our home office is all IKEA too!

    I've finally finished HP7, so I can't use that as my excuse not to do stuff around the house now. Drat!
