Da plan

[susandennis]

This section of the living room is the one getting the major surgery. The desk/credenza setup is going away entirely. There will be a table (narrow) built in along that wall with the pictures on it. The three monitors will be mounted on that wall. Then where the credenza is will be a very cool, very shallow, shelf/cabinet/drawer assembly. The sexy CPU will sit on a shelf that pulls out. The printer will sit on a rolling cart that slides in under the CPU. Everything else will be hidden. (I switched out the bright green lights in the CPU for blue ones but the blue ones aren't nearly as bright and cool, so I think the green is going back in.)

This new dining table will go where the lucite table is now:



I'm having a bench on hidden casters made that matches the ottoman/chair in room. The bench will serve as both the desk chair and dining table seating.

I'm having a bascillion electrical outlets built in everywhere. And the table as well as the cabinet thingie will have grommets in it so that the wires and cables and be strung around hidden as much as possible.

Then I'm also having recessed lighting added to the ceiling, one set of track lighting replaced and another added. That will eliminate at least two lamps and, hopefully, three and gimme light in this joint!

So that's the plan... The latest from Sheri was asking if she should hold off on the next step until all the pricing is in. The next step is to send the cabinet maker out for measuring. We already have pricing from him and his piece will take the longest so I told her to go ahead and give him the green light and let's get this ball rolling!!

Wow. Sounds great. Adding more track lighting to replace lamps ought to make for more illumination AND less clutter. Double win.

An adventure!

Nice to see your working station and I can picture you there. But looking forward to seeing the new space . . . it all looks like a great plan. Love the "more lighting"--you can never have too much lighting. I've noticed getting older I need more and more lighting to see well.

Oh, bytheway, I would take your old space off your hands for a song and a penny. hehe. :)
