Moving is happening at about the same pace as the renovation did, LOL! At this point, we still need to move my art desk and supplies and all my sewing room stuff, my cookbook collection, and my CD player and CDs.. I also still need to move things for my kitchen, but I figure I'll just "go shopping" at my other house if it turns out that I need something that isn't already here.. No artwork is hung. No curtains are hung (hopefully that will happen Thursday.)
I posted these sneak peaks of my computer desk to some FB friends but have not posted them here yet, so here ya go:

This was a FREE desk we found when a local motel was redecorating and they put a bunch of furniture out by their dumpster, free for anyone for the taking. I also got those great "barrel" chairs that I painted from there. This stuff is made to last and last. These are laminate topped, but take the paint really well after a light sanding to scuff it. I used Behr's Paint and Primer in a semi gloss. It took two coats on the legs and body, sanding lightly in between, but I added a topcoat of clear high gloss on top, because I wanted the extra shine and durability. I also replaced a very plain knob with this pretty one. This desk is the perfect size for my laptop and a printer and the drawer is handy for a few simple office supplies.
Aside from finishing up SO much stuff in the house, there is still the matter of a dining room table that I haven't painted. I have to somehow make time in the next week or so to get that sanded and painted, so I can have a place to eat with a guest or two. I'd love to invite people over to see the house when I get the bulk of things done. Can't wait!
