in any case. the desk needs to be organized/cleaned by 6:45 p.m. tomorrow. when the bugs and i will head to the airport to pick-up "grammy".
the desk belonged to d's dad. we repainted it and put a new top on it. d built me the cubbies/inspiration board long ago. or at least it seems long ago. before the bugs. when we lived in a big warehouse in mid-city. and i had a "real" office for "my business". it came from plans here.
i have plans to redo this room sometime soon. would like a longer, maybe L-shaped, built in desk. room for my sewing machine. the room has access to the backyard which we would like to take more advantage of. (right now there is a sofa-bed in front of the sliding door which no longer slides.) paint it white and crowd it with d's unframed landscapes of the southbay (glimpsed here).
but first i just need to clean off that desk - wish me luck!

You should see my desk. Neat as a pin, thanks to my horizontal filing system. Works great until you have to find anything.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tidying!
best of luck. i love the way it looks now but i do know that there is nothing like a deadline to get you going.
ReplyDeletebefore bugs? was there such a time? i suppose there was...
ReplyDeleteCleaning always feels good to me- well, once it is done, not so much during.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. Enjoy your visit with your mom!
Eek! I share your pain - sister-in-law and 3 kids arrive Saturday and my dining table is craft chaos central. I love your cubbies by the way.
ReplyDeleteWhenever company comes, my office/studio is the room I tell people not to go in. I'm glad my guest bed isn't in here! Good luck straightening up. That is on my fall agenda...
ReplyDeleteFunny how I find the chaos in your office so much more appealing than my own! Love the cubbies/inspiration board setup. Good luck whipping it into shape!
ReplyDeletewhat is it with desks? ours looks practically the same. good luck with that, and have a wonderful weekend with grammie.
ReplyDeleteLove the cubbies D made for you, love a handyman. [Mr. S is not that handy, but thank goodness the man can cook!] Have fun with your mother!
ReplyDeleteyour desk looks like my brain, hence the weird email you just got from me. let's hope this weekend involves slowing down for me...enjoy your mom! xo
