  1. oooooh new office!! do you feel up to photographing it and showing it off on the blog? can you PM me what kind of desk you got? I'm asking all these questions because I'm building myself an office as well! Either our guest room or the room right off the kitchen, which is actually what I'd prefer, but that's the Cat Room, where their terrible litter box is, and it's the only place we can put it really. Whomsoever designed our house did not think about litter box placement. ANyway I'm researching desks from IKEA and the Container Store. My desk has currently been on our dining room table which is in our lovely living room and has great light and windows and stuff but people march behind me on the stairs all the time and it freaks me out.
