As mentioned in an earlier post, we've turned the now-spare room into an office. This afternoon, I was finally able to move my own stuff in--after fighting with the stupid bookcase last night, as well as running around all weekend long, I just did not have the energy. I'll have to take pictures once everything's all squared away, since I'm sure no one really wants to see our messy bookshelves... :) It's nice, though, both in the bedroom and in the office. There's lots of space for both of us, plus there's all kinds of floor space still. In the bedroom, there's a big long strip up against the windows that's now open--we're going to shift everything that way a little bit, and buy another shelf to put in there. The TV stand is still on the list, as is a new coffee table for the living room, since the one we have is a little bit wobbly.
There are a few annoyances--this room has a LOT of light, which is great, unless it's midafternoon and you're trying to type, while still keeping the window open to let the breeze in.
I put my PC beneath the spare glass-top end table (from the same coffee table set mentioned above), closer to the UPS, but the end tableis configured in such a way that I have to reach up and under to get at the CD rom drive. No big deal, just a minor annoyance that I may want to change at some point or another.
All in all, I'm glad that we're starting to get settled again. The nesting impulse hit pretty strongly, and it's still there enough for me to want to give stuff another thorough cleaning (like, say, the kitchen), but it's nice to have this squared away. It's just...really nice, *pleasant*, when the home-space is situated.
