WOYWW.... in fact.... three workdesks!!

Well, a shopping we went and luckily friends met us at IKEA with their truck as there was no way we would have got all the boxes in our car!!   It did take another trip the following day to complete the purchases as they were out of stock of a couple of things.

I love this desk... the $12.99 Ikea stand and a piece of Ikea kitchen worktop to finish it off and I love the look of it and the fact I can spread out my computer stuff.  So that is work desk number one and its got my 'puter on it!

My expedit and expedit desk from Ikea... and yes, there is quite a lot of 'stuff' piled up on it... I was at the sorting it into piles stage! So this workdesk number 2!

A few flat packs later and it is beginning to come together...

Isn't this a fab desk?  We bought two black small expedits and put the white door I bought on top of them... loads of room to teach on!! So this one makes it work desk number 3!!   That should help make up for all the weeks when I didn't have a work desk to show at all!!  LOL

Still putting things together... I adore that shelf... have seen them in scraprooms and always longed for one and  I got it in Michaels with a 40% voucher!!  Yahooooo! 

Found some word wall art in Michaels and had a play on the bulkhead above the big desk...

Added some of my fav purchases from Saudi Arabia on the walls - wall decor chandeliers and a table lamp.

So this is how it is looking today... still have a few pieces to put together and Chris is going to put them on the wall for me... and I still have to buy a computer chair.... not sure whether to go with a colour or stick to black..

So now I need to scrap for a while and figure out exactly where I want the stuff I use all the time... then I can ask Chris to fix to the wall the stuff that is waiting to go up!  I didn't want to make holes and then decide that the storage needed to be moved about...

And to show that I am not totally selfish... (LOL) I have kept this area for the television and an armchair will go down here tomorrow so that Chris can come down and watch TV and listen to music while I play... I know.... I was supposed to share the basement with him but he decided he liked the spare bedroom on the main floor so it alllllll mine!! ;)

I got round to having a play with the birdcage I bought for the high shelf at the top of the stairs... not sure this is an improvement on it or not!!  I have chained the door open so the little china bird can leave anytime it wants!!  When we moved into the house I found some books in Chinese in the garage and as I don't read a word of Chinese I didn't feel bad about scruffing it up and putting it in a cage!!  (If anyone does read Chinese and would like a copy of Lolita please just yell)!!

I hung some pearls and a key with a tag with freedom on it...

So here it is high up on its shelf... I added a clock to the wall.... what a nightmare it was getting it to hang straight!!  I don't really do heights and I must have been stick up there for a good hour sticking it on and removing it again before the bubble in the spirit level said 'OK' !!  I was exstatic about having my feet on terra firma once more and I think if anything else has to go on the shelf it will have to just go where ever I can reach!

So this is me for WOYWW this week so do pop on over to Julia and check up on the ever growing list of like minded peeps who have such a lot of fabby stuff on their work desks.  I didn't manage to get round all the list last week because I was busy being flat pack Queen most of the time, but I am going to try harder this week and maybe skip cooking dinner and get take-out instead!!
