Ikea

Jake and I decided that we needed to make some changes to the way we handle the paperwork for his business for 2011. So we updated some of our office equipment and software which left us NO room on our old desk since my iMac takes up the majority of the room in our house :) but I dont mind. We had shopped around for an affordable desk that was big enough for everything and came up empty handed. So last weekend we took our first trip to Ikea....oh how my life has changed. I had seen the catalogue and heard all of the hype, but nothing compares to ACTUALLY being there! I was without a doubt OVERWHELMED! I am glad we went with an actual purpose (to find a desk) or I may still be wandering aimlessly through the too cool for school showroom. The experience was kind of like reading a Real Simple magazine. When you are done you feel like your home is an unorganized, poorly decorated slum that you should be embarrassed to admit you live in. But on the other hand, you feel SO INSPIRED! Here is our new office...its not done! But well on its way!

 Curtains! I was accused of making "Jake's" office too girlie :)
