Lookit! Lookit! Lookit!

Lookey what I just ordered!!! My most fabulous husband gave me the goahead to purchase this beautiful armoire!

I've been wanting a computer armoire for a while now and have been saving my money from the things that I've sold on Craigs List, and a few weeks ago I started looking. At first I looked on our local Craigs List but Ryan didn't like any of the ones I showed him, which is ok because I want something that we will both like and I'm willing to wait for it. So I broadened my search and found this beauty! The only thing about it is that it's a basic armoire and is not set up with a desk area. Ryan is going to help me rig it up so it will have a work area. Isn't he great?!

So I put in my order today and now I only have to wait for delivery as I sit back and envision the computer mess area in a more organized and less cluttered fashion. And I'll have lots of time to do that since the armoire won't be here for another 3 to 4 weeks. How ever will I endure until then? *sigh* Maybe it'll be delivered on my birthday? That would be a great gift!


On another organizing note, a solution has been found for our living room situation. My cousin was over the other night and she suggested getting an inexpensive tv stand. I thought about it. I searched Ikea online. And I talked it over with Ryan. The conclusion is that I will buy this with my Craig money (Ryan's buying the armoire, see I told you he was great!). I will put the tv stand to the right of our fireplace and then I can put the couch where I want it, facing the fireplace. I'll do a little rearranging of the other two pieces of furniture we have, then the room will finally feel comfortable and homey. The plan is to go to Ikea on Saturday and pick it up. I. Can't. Wait! (thanks Rose!)

I'll be sure to post pictures to show off the awesome new spaces when they are completed. Stay tuned!

Ooh, very nice! I'm dreaming of new TV storage for next year, as our current entertainment center is starting to lean, and our son peeled some of the veneer off. Klassy!!
