things change

I was feeling the need for a change and rearranged my little sanctum that I share with the cat.

This room was a cold, dank, unfinished portion of our garden level basement when we first looked at this house. Between that time and the time we moved in - as it was then a rental - the previous owners DIYed a quick little space.

It became my and Napolion's space, although he'd probably say it's his space that he lets me use sometimes. It is the one area of the house off limits to the dogs because of the variety of "snacks" (it is both the cat's dining room and bathroom).

It's cozy and comfy and mine. I rearranged, hoping to make it feel more spacious. It feels like it worked. 


This table, though. It's old, and like a human, it's got a few sags, dimples, and  unexplained blotches.

I've started looking for a replacement - something between kid's desk and professional's work surface. I'm finding a lot of both ends of the spectrum, not so much in the middle. 




The cat was keen to inspect, and seems satisfied enough with the change of digs.

He seems to have little concern about the crappy table.






Today was beautiful weather-wise. A gift after a cold, cloudy, damp several days that I was not quite yet acclimated for. I thought, "what a nice day for cleaning up the yard", and then thought I must be getting old to have that come to mind so quickly. 

Well, if the shoe fits...

I wish I had your sparse gene. I need it. My desk is a butcher block piece from Lowes attached to my bookcases on either side. I have a 3 drawer file cabinet underneath. It works. Cheap too. If I should clean my office I'll send a photo. LOL

Peggy, your solution sounds functional!
I think I got this table from OfficeMax over 20 years ago.

It look Spacious, organized and if you and your Fur Baby feel it's working out, Bravo. I Love when a Solution comes together and works out.
