When we moved into this house last August, I had my office in the dining room (aka the schoolroom). It’s centrality (is that a word?) was primo but I could never keep it clean. And the centrality became a big problem when I could never concentrate on work. The boys’ school computer was in a small black hutch in the living room and Eric was out of luck….he had no space to call his own.
So with the coming of the rumpus room, many options were discussed about how to handle the workstations. After a quick trip to IKEA we reacquainted ourselves with the corner hutch that we fell in love with last Summer but talked ourselves out of due to money. Yesterday we brought it home and I’m loving it! And, now, I’m in the living room (with wonderful doors to hide any clutter behind), the boys’ school computer is in the dining room (and it’s spotless and hopefully will stay that way) and Eric has taken the small black hutch into our bedroom.

Ignore the messy bookshelf, it’s going out in the rumpus room when it’s ready for moving in. Right now Hubs and boys are laying insulation and creating an attic floor in the garage for storage. Then Thursday a couple of guys are coming to build a patio in the back yard so we can have some shade. The next week these same guys are going to tape, mud and texture our rumpus room walls. Then we’ll paint and we can move stuff in.
Also we totally scored at Ikea yesterday. Not only did we get my corner hutch but also a great wardrobe for Eric’s costumes and the bookshelves we wanted in the as-is section – so at least 40% off the original price! Yeah!! I love a bargain!
