If you give a man a desk
He's going to want a shelf to go with it.
And if you give him the shelf he's going to want to paint the walls before he installs the shelf.
If you give him the paint then he's going to want some new baseboards too.
By the time it is all done you have a brand new room (pictures later) - wish us luck!
Many of you will wonder how this all went down. Here it is, we went to get a small desk for K, since she is going be home schooled starting next week. We decided that she could just use the desk/table that Jason's been using so we looked for a desk to replace Jason's. We went to IKEA - that's swedish for insane asylum! While there we found this really cool desk and shelves, perfect. Then we got to thinking that the bedroom was the first room that we want to "re-do" (as in paint and make our own) we might as well paint those walls before we hang the shelves, which then led us to think that if we were going to paint we wanted to do the base boards too... so as you can see we now have a weekend project that will take us at LEAST a week. As I said before wish us luck & we'll put up pictures when it is all done
