The Furniture Part Has Started...

Last Thursday after work and then Saturday, we went shopping for a bedframe. After looking at over a dozen of them, I fell in love with this one, right inside the door at Stanton Furniture.

Floor Model, As Is, no visible defects, a little over $500, down from original price of $800. I think it will fit nicely into a Mission / Craftsman type environment. There were armoires, night stands, etc. but we already have all that, in a very similar stain color to this. Bed was delivered yesterday but we have not assembled it yet.

Joey has been quite perturbed with us. As soon as he figured out how to get up the ladder, we prevented him from doing so. Just discovered new places, and now he can't get up there. However, we were mightily forgiven by the acquisition of this new leather office chair.

Virtually, every time L goes into the office, Joey is keeping the seat warm for him. Which only makes sense since the addition AND the chair are specifically FOR Joey. We built him a new playground. At least that's the story he's telling all his friends as they come to talk at him at the new windows.

This area, a small alcove at east end, will become L's "manufacturing" area, where he can build circuit boards and adapters as needed for his business.

Finally, L decided that instead of covering up the glu-lam (main support timber), he would just stain it. When the framer and his son came over earlier in the week, the son thought L had wrapped the beam in plywood. It looks REALLY good especially with that quarter-round at the edges.

Desks and other furniture have been brought in but they are not "settled" yet. I think I will take the new photo T gave me of Dad and post it on the wall, over his old oak desk which I will soon be moving into.
