Moving My Home Office

Mollie and I had agreed that we would wait to turn my home office into the guest bedroom/nursery to be until we reached the DTC milestone in the adoption. Now that we have, it was time for her to get started on transforming the room.

Of course, the first step was to get me out of there into what was then the guest bedroom. We took time planning how the office would look, what paint to put on the walls, how to arrange the furniture. We emptied the room, made a mess of the rest of the house and started applying primer on Friday. By Saturday, the room was painted (that's after spending a lot of time running around town and going to the CCAI picnic). On Sunday, we started moving furniture.

Of course, we quickly realized that my original plan wouldn't quite work. My desk was bigger than I thought it would be. As a result, the positioning of the furniture changed. Once the furniture was in place, it was time to reassemble the computers and network. That alone took a few hours since I made an effort to organize the cabling so it wouldn't turn into another rat's nest.

I think that the end result was well worth the effort. The last thing to do is to hang the frames back on the walls and organize my library so I can find my books again.

Out of my mind...: Moving My Home Office
