After


After, originally uploaded by juliecinci.

Today I graduated from a table top to a real desk.
Said Caitrin upon viewing it: "Mom you look like a real business person now."

Here's a glimpse of the before (and yes, I really did work like this for about seven years):

That is a very pretty desk. It goes with the green beautifully! You do look like a 'real' business woman :)

Julie, it's such a beautiful desk! I love the dark wood. I can totally see you working there--very professional!

It wouldn't take me long to get this desk covered with stuff! I do love the green wall and I've never seen a Van Gogh portrait set before. You know I like that!

I took a "before" photo to day because my bedroom is a disaster area and I was all motivated to get it shipshape in a short twenty minutes and have a great "after" shot.....that was about three hours ago and I've not touched it! But I do have a list on Google Reader :-)

I just noticed that we have the same painting...my copy of the Cafe Terrace is in our dining room! How funny.

It looks so grown up! I love it. Love that Van Gogh room with the great green too!

There's that great green again. Love it! For some reason, though, I'm surprised you have a dark wood desk; I would've imagined it as something lighter and Ikea-ish. At any rate, I'll bet it feels great to have more space!

Brian said...

Nice desk. I think I have a nice one here under the pile. I'd be too embarrassed to take a photo of my workspace. It's a wreck!

Colleen, there's no IKEA yet and this room opens to the living room where I have dark wood. So I needed it to match.

Finally... you're a big girl now! Pretty desk and of course, I have an affinity for green walls.

Congratulations -- there's something really liberating about a real desk. I'm striving to get rid of the card table sitting next to the computer in my office and finding something more suitable one day (sigh).....

Sweet! Love your desk. I know this is something you've wanted to do for a long time so I'm happy for you. It looks great! Looks like the finished product on a Mission Organization show. The wood, posters and wall color look so good together. I'm proud of ya!

Beautiful desk! Where did all the papers go? LOL :-)

Susanne Barrett said...

Love, love, love it, Julie. Totally jealous. The dark, elegant desk against the cheerful green -- just gorgeous!

I will not covet. I will not covet. I will not....
