Joy of Furniture

At the day-job, we've been renovating the offices for about seventeen years. Or for six months - whichever seems more reasonable. The Library renovations were completed about two months ago, except for our new office furniture. (For the past 2.5 years, I've been using a reject desk that no one else in the firm would have in his/her office. Aside from being an ergonomic monstrosity, it was hideously ugly, with peeling veneer and impractically sized drawers that wouldn't stay closed.)

Yesterday, my new office furniture arrived.

I have a D-shaped desk, and a "return" (a side unit), and the most amazing drawers and cabinets I've ever seen in an office. I have eight different drawers that lock. I have specialized drawers for my inbox and my outbox. I have drawers that just happen to be the height of a box of Revolution teas. It's all made out of pearwood, a glowing red-yellow wood, and it feels so smooth and perfect that I'm almost afraid to use it.

I'm in heaven. (Or at least as close as one can get when talking about *work*.)

Mindy, actually looking forward to seeing how the new office looks in the morning light!

Oooh, I love furniture. One day I'll be able to get a full matching set from Office Max. With cupboards! That's when I know I'll have 'made it' :-)

The cupboards make the man, you know :-)

Office Max, though? My tastes run far more expensively than that!

:-) I'm blue collar and low rent ;-) I considered making my own, but time is something I have little of...
