my new job is absolutely wonderful... i feel so incredibly lucky. it's a lot of work, but definitely worth it! this is our third week in the office, and it's beginning to look almost-complete. we've done a lot of painting, and hauling furniture, and hanging pictures, and this week is sewing and slipcovering (while also doing the real work.) i'll post more pictures once it's all done, but for now here's a quick peek at my desk...

(check out the amazing giant macbook!!!) i just put up the wallpaper today... soon it will have a reclaimed wood header. also to come - huge rug and white airy curtains. and the desk chair that i still need to paint and reupholster. we scavenged our houses and garages for most of the furniture and decor - it's fun to see all of our stuff mixed together in new ways (plus, my bosses have great stuff!) it looks much better in person - the iphone just doesn't do it justice. i have a big wall of windows so i get great light... but when it gets late in the day i can't see because i opted to put a bookcase in front of the lightswitch and can't turn on the fluorescents... i'm hanging a pendant with a vintage wallpaper drum shade over my desk, so once that is installed i can work until the wee hours of the night.
love, love, love my job. just have to brag a little.
i'm working on some freelance projects and design lab stuff in my spare time, and soon will be restocking my etsy shop (after i restock my wonderful retailers, of course!)
