new work area

mom's computer chair (borrowed)
24" iMac (new) yipee!
ilovetypography.com wallpaper (free) :-)
white vase and flowers (IKEA $13)
desk top ($19.99 - IKEA)
2 white desk legs @ $40 each (IKEA)
lamp + lamp stand (IKEA $30)
mom's stand (borrowed)
remnant of race car track that used to be here on the floor. the boys are gonna hate me.
new work area by CosmoPolitician.
so i set out this morning to find a new desk for my new iMac that I received yesterday. for the last 2 months I've been working on mom and dad's kitchen bar height table, hovering over my tiny 13 inch macbook. it was time for an upgrade.

my mission:
cheapo. under $200.
had to match decor in mom's red and black "Paris Room"
needed it today. (i'm impatient).
minimal assembly.

on recommendations via twitter, i checked out target, IKEA, cost plus, and back to IKEA where i settled on a simple desk top and 2 legs. cheapo. classy. functional. the whole desk cost me $100. FTW!

i had to take apart my sister's boys' racetrack to put the desk up. they are gonna be livid, seeing as though they are already pissed i "took over their room" :-)

So i'll be working from mom and dad's for a few more months, and very excited about the new work area. "Mom, can you send up a sandwich?"
