It's a Desk!

Comcast somehow half-cancelled our service appointment yesterday and didn't show up, or contact us. Extremely frustrating, but after some considerable finagling we rescheduled for tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm going stir-crazy and I have a desk I haven't shared with you yet. I escaped to a local coffee/fro-yo shop (mostly for the wifi), and here you go:

It's all set up in my office/craft room with my just-for-work computer on it. I finished it off with a spray polyurethane sealant (I don't remember the name and the can is in the garage at home), but I loved it. This bottle's sprayer was different, it sprayed in a straight line so getting an even coat was a breeze. If I ever use a spray primer again, I'll look for a similar spray pattern. 

Moving Week!

My apologies for yesterday, the desk made it into the trailer before I could photograph it. Pictures will come this week, that much I can promise. We officially move tomorrow, internet won't be set up until Monday evening. Blogging for the rest of the week will be sporadic and brief, but I do have some "before" pictures to tide you over.

The living room, as you walk in the front door. 

The living room again, but you can see the kitchen and dining nook on the other side of the fireplace better. 

Said dining nook.

The galley kitchen.

Hallway connecting the kitchen/living area (behind us) to the garage (to the left, after the hall curves). The door on the immediate left is the half-bath (next picture), straight ahead is a closet, and the door on the right is the utility room. 

The kitchen again. After I took the picture in the hallway, I basically turned around to take this picture. 

Up the clausterphobic stairs...

to the weird room-that's-not-a-room at the top of them! We're not sure what to do with this space yet.

Right at the top of the stairs, there's a laundry room.

A small bedroom that will be my office/craft room, as I'll be working from home.

A second small bedroom that will be Ben's work space and a guest room (eventually). 

The indigo bathroom. This one has a tub, but no shower. 

The aforementioned tub.

The master bedroom--but wait there's more!

Also the master bedroom. 

Walk-in closet!

And finally, the en suite, with a shower but not a tub.
