An Office Once More

When last we left off on the office, it didn't look much like an office, there being no more desk. So my preschooler could be forgiven for calling it "her office" when giving newcomers tours of our house. This is the picture we posted here last February.

Since then, we cleared out and got rid of the tall cabinet that you see on the right, and the vintage desk chair (that one was a little painful to part with). We bought a storage bench from Ikea, another Stuva, like the system up in the kids' room - it has the Folja drawer since that was all that was in stock at the time (and anyway, the colorful handles are cute). Apparently I never got a picture like that before we moved on to step 3.

Step 3 entailed the big ticket item that lets us reclaim this room as a proper office - a new desk. D, who actually does work from home sometimes and has been just sitting on the sofa with his laptop, thought it was finally time to get a proper place to do work. After some research on the Wirecutter, our constant source for shopping recommendations, we bought the Jarvis sit/stand bamboo desk from Fully.

That prompted us to do a little more rearranging of the cabinets and....voila!

A real office again! Just ignore all the toys...
