What we did yesterday...

 We helped our daughter revamp her home office!!! First we totally emptied it out... then Bob vacuumed, and rolled up the old area rug. Our daughter washed the walls and I took out trash and cardboard to their respective "wheelie bins"! Cardboard to the recycle one.

Then we brought in the new area rug ... perfect size.. It left a margin , door opens and the cold air vent exposed!

Next we started bringing back things ... newly painted ( by both daughters) bookcase... IKEA "saw horses" type things to hold the top for the computer monitor etc...

At this point it was time for a break..Then Laurel made dinner for us all which was a fantastic dinner salad of balsamic marinated  chicken, mixed greens, nuts, dried fruit and a home made dressing and chibata buns! Great... We ate outside on the deck and with all that time consuming work, it turned dark!

So back to a few things before we began to head home... trash bags to the wheelie bins... old rug ready to be "thrifted"  and so on.

By the way... the top for her computer desk is an old cherry door from her great great-grandfather's barn  that her grandmother had converted to a coffee table. Her grandmother was an avid smoker so there are LOADS of cigarette burns from when the cigarettes fell off of the ash tray! Laurel refuses to get rid of them... reminds her too much of her grandmother!!
