The office is too small to accommodate both Baby and I during the summer months. It’s literally like sitting in a box, because of this we’ve been working on redoing things to use the best amount of space without filling the room with useless items that we don’t need. He’s told me that he’d be willing to get another desk but I’m not one who likes the idea of a perfectly good desk being thrown out. I do know that he’s going to be upgrading to two LCD monitors sometime in the near future so that will cut down on space, which is exactly how the room will be rearranged. I do actually want a nice setup in there but in order to do it, I’m going to have to do some serious pricing on very important furniture.
We can’t spend all our money in the office though, we’re in dire need of bedroom furniture because there’s no way we can handle the setup the way it is now. I need to get some kind of a window ledge put together so Bella can have her seat back. Up until a few days ago we had the big chair underneath the window but since the air conditioning vent is right there, we wound up moving it to another side of the room – she’s now lost her seat. I want to build a box that’s an extension of the window ledge there now and then have a small ramp or stairs to help her get up to it. Now she’s making the attempt to jump up in the window (the way a cat would do) but since she’s NOT a cat, she doesn’t quite know how to contort herself to get where she needs without smacking her face in the window, or just plain falling off the ledge. It’s only a 2 foot drop and she leaps further than that whenever she hangs out in the book case.
So I need to get a night stand or small book shelf that’s open underneath for the air to come through, we also need a new bed. Of course a mattress is more important than a frame at the moment. Baby is already willingly sleeping on the floor, he hasn’t even done anything to deserve it but he’s got no choice based on how his back is feeling. I’m tempted to flip the mattress up and sleep on the floor with him. We may wind up doing that sooner than anticipated at the way I’m feeling.
From sitting in an uncomfortable dining room chair all day, to sleeping on an even more uncomfortable bed – my back is beyond messed up and all I can do is hope that some serious cash just falls into my lap so I can start doing some remodeling that will benefit not only the size of the room – but my back in general.
I’m most likely going to go with greatpricedfurniture.com because they literally have what they advertise, great priced furniture. Baby’s mom works for a furniture store and even at the factory direct prices, before the 300% mark-up the furniture is better quality and cheaper. So why not stick with affordability instead of paying an employee’s salary who just told you what colors you could get something in, you know?
