new workspace set up after a day of unpacking and assembling

[aslant]

here's kirk at our new office set up in the living room.

we took a trip to IKEA today :) i have been planning this out for a while, but this afternoon i was inspired to figure out the price and the measurements, and off we went. exciting! i do hate having to duck and weave through their stupid floorplan, avoiding all the ridiculously slow families, ugh. memories of boston sidewalk rage!

anyway. now we both have a large open workspace and plenty of storage underneath. before, this long wall of the living room was totally unused. my tiny desk was in one corner, kirk had our small old kitchen table in the other corner, totally covered in junk and really dim lighting. not anymore!

we found out that the kitchen table can fit in one corner of the kitchen, just barely, and i am so happy! it will be nice to have a place to eat that's not the couch. the dining room table is covered with my sewing projects right now, so it's pretty much unusable. (but also, we don't like it! it's an heirloom my mother grew up eating breakfast on every day, but the top has not been refinished properly and the veneer curls up at the edges. ANYWAYY does not matter, because now we have the kitchen table.)

That's nice!

I dream of the day when we can have a workspace like that.

thanks! i was so pleased to see it come together. we still have an area to the left of where kirk's sitting, but we have a rolling (matching) file cabinet to go there once we assemble it. i love having such a long space to spread out stuff when needed.
