update to desk search..

Great news in the pursuit of the desk that I was very pleased with.. in the afternoon, my "bob the builder" called me to let me know that he had seen the email and pictures.. He asked where I had seen the furniture and the price.. when I told him World Market and $279 he just said "handsome piece of furniture and the price is very reasonable as he couldn't remake one of them for less than $400." I told him how I appreciated his quick response and for the assessment. He said he does get some furniture from World Market as you sometimes can't make it with the amount of time and materials.

So I took my 10% coupon and Greg drove down there with me. Now they sell them in a box as a kit, but they didn't have one in stock.. So Eric the manager offered us the floor model for $199. plus my coupon as it had a couple minor minor scratches in it.  Or I could have him order me one for full price..  Oh hell no, those scratches can be touched up for the much lower price.. So for $194.13 We walked out the door with it..

60"W x 28"D x 30"H and the perfect color like our den tables (you can see one in the background)

This is it in its place in the office space, and looks great against the newly painted tan walls..

Now to find a photo scanner that can do large jobs (rather than one at a time) and has excellent color quality.  I had purchased one at Best Buy and the color quality was not as true as the photo, so I returned it.  But believe me I have 4 large containers and some loose pictures to organize..  I will start by saving a copy for myself in an organized folder setup name/date and then Ashley is the only one who has expressed an interest in having hers now.  When the boys are ready I'll then save them a copy in whatever is the "going digital or storage" popular at that time.
