Computer Problems Lead to Decorating Problems


(By the way, I have a huge black framed mirror to hang over the couch but the husband hasn't helped me hang it yet. Notice Rafa sitting so nicely on the chair!)

As I mentioned earlier, we are in the middle of a computer crisis. In the past, we have used our laptop at home and kept it stored away underneath a side table in our family room. That has worked fine for us because we really only use the computer to check important stuff like email and facebook. ;) But now, our laptop isn't working (we're working on getting it fixed) so we decided to break out my old college computer. It has a few kwirks of its own but it works so that is an improvement. Saturday we spent the day cleaning out the computer and saving all of my old files. Then, we re-formatted the whole thing and started fresh. It actually seems to be working alright now. But then comes the challenge of finding some place to put it.

Our 'office' that we never used has now become my workout room since I got my elliptical machine! The desk that was against this wall was moved to our living room (another room we never used much). I put it against the back wall figuring I would just place some big arrangement in the center and we'd eventually find a purpose for it.

But before I could even get an arrangement together I found a purpose for the table. Now we actually use the living room! How about that! It is a work in progress but I actually kind of like it.

The 'computer chair' we're using actually belongs to our breakfast nook but I have sort of a new plan for chairs there. I haven't told Lucas about this though. I guess this is as good of a way as any. So I saw these chairs in the Pottery Barn catalog and I would like to imitate on a much cheaper scale. Perhaps my grandparents have 2 old chairs I could use for this and then I'll just recover with the zebra print of my choice. Love it!!


And just because... cute pictures of Rafa sitting on the chair while I'm trying to decide what to do.
