Desk Update - Meet Micke

What a whirlwind the last few days have been for this household! Rob has decided to get on board with  decorating and organizing our main living space and I think he's actually starting to enjoy it. You'll never guess what he doing right this minute... I will wait to reveal once he says I can!

This past weekend, Rob and Alex made a trip to the hardware store and picked up some supplies for our mini projects which include:

• hanging frames and photos behind the couch 
• hanging photos above the new desk 
• refinishing my beloved yellow garage sale chair
• putting up a rod and curtains in our bedroom (we've lived here for a year so we both agreed it was time)
• adding a backing to our entertainment system to hide the wires from all of the devices

This is a start to a list of projects that we hope to accomplish before Parker's birthday party. Depending on how projects progress and how well Rob and I work together on these (ha) there may be more mini projects in our future. 

Last week I posted a picture of my work station that I slapped some paint on (you can find all of the amazing details here). In the end, we decided that $100 for a new desk which would provide a larger work space and more drawer storage was definitely worth the trip to Ikea. 

So my desk went from this:

 To this:

Meet Micke - and I love him, or her? Not sure that it matters but so far I don't have any complaints. Hey, we actually put this desk together in about thirty minutes and I don't recall any harsh words being exchanged between Rob and I. 

I have yet to take a great photo of Micke because we are still deciding what type of artwork to put above the desk, hence the pieces of paper tapped on the wall. So, once this area is a little more put together I will take a proper photo.
