Happy New year!
I'm still in the process of taking down the Christmas decorations, which is bittersweet, it went by too fast. I usually get inspired to move furniture, organize, repaint, or tear down walls this time of year. (Wish I could)

I decided to start small. Call me selfish, needy, self-indulgent, even territorial. I don't care. I'm claiming a little space in this house as my own. I won't say it's "off-limits" to kids, but it's limited, as in, they can hang up their backpacks in there. I moved all of their video game crap to the "playroom" that we've never used, in the basement. I'm getting ready to finally set up that Command Center I promised myself I'd do. I put together a mental image of what I want, within reason, of course. This is one spot where I don't even need to consider what anyone else wants or likes. None of that, "Well, it's too girly, there's too many boys in the house for that rug/paint/furniture, etc..."
So I've challenged myself to see if I can bring this together for really cheap.
I'musing keeping the bamboo desk and she is getting a makeover in red, inspired by her cousin piece below...
So far, so good, I snagged this rug for 70% off at rugsusa.com
I've always wanted a reason for an acrylic chair to exist in my life...
and here she is, found at Amazon, for just over $100.
(but for some reason I'm having this recurring vision of someone tilting back in it and the legs cracking off like a cheap outdoor stack-able...I'll let you know, it's still "in transit" so we'll see.)
I bought a couple of funky pillows, (I'll surprise you later) and I have a need for these beauties in here too. They are not in the budget, so I have to do these myself somehow.
As for my paint color, I'm guessing gray but I also want to carry through the molding from the landing zone, on the lower portion of the walls.
Stick with me... this should be interesting!
