Office Updates.

My office is coming together little by little…. I’m finding things and making purchases 🙂

On Sunday I went “craigslisting” and checked out a wingback chair and sideboard. I wanted a big comfy chair for my desk, and thought a wingback might be perfect. It’s orange, and while I love orange, I think it’s too much “warm tones” together with my desk. But…. for a whopping $20 I brought home a mint condition wingback!!! I’m thinking I will have it reupholstered in a white denim with funky color piping 🙂

Then on to see the sideboard…. hello, perfect!!!! Just rustic enough, the right shape, right size & they delivered it!!! $150 well spent! It will hold all kinds of office supplies, and props, as well, the TV will sit on top of it. Yay!!

Then….. on Tuesday I was coming through Mebane on my way home from a day job trip & wanted to stop in a local antique store to purchase a cool vintage camera I’d seen to display on my mantle. Unfortulately, the camera was sold…. so I walked a few doors down to another store, The Curious Peddler. A pretty shop, with lots of pretty things. They have 2 floors, so I ventued upstairs where most of their furniture is…. there they were…. at the top of the steps, 2 perfect sitting chairs for the office!!! The price was $395 for the pair, more than I really wanted to spend. I left them there, but couldn’t stop thinking about them. I called the owner yesterday to see if the price was negotiable…. she said she could do 10% off!!! I just called her & paid for them 🙂 Those are MINE, and will be perfect to flank my fireplace mantle!!!

Excuse the photos, they are all from the web….

I pick up my keys tomorrow & will be painting & moving in this weekend!
