Office

Most of you have been to our home and have seen Don's office. For those who haven't, Don currently works from home in a tiny little space that's hardly even a room...it's just a large hallway going from our house to the laundry room and then down to his parents' suite.

Not only is the space not very usable, but it's difficult for Don to work (or have phone conversations) due to the consistent noise level of our house. Six people just cannot be quiet that often.

So, we are undergoing a major home renovation! Don is, as we speak, outside renovating an 11.5' x 14' foot room that used to hold a lot of crap stuff of Waneta's that is now either at the dump or at their new home in Merrit.

He's re-framing the walls to add power and networking wiring...lots of outlets, etc. He's building a large closet to hold all of his business stuff. He's putting in lighting fixtures and laying laminate flooring. He'll paint a beautiful eggplant color on the walls, with a white ceiling, doors, and trim. We'll get white office furniture from Ikea (love that place!) along with an area rug, some artwork, etc., and voila! A usable office space away from the happy chaos of the house.

I'm really looking forward to it. Oh, and as for the space that is Don's current office, we're turning it into the family computer room. Every computer in the house will now go in there, so we won't have computers in bedrooms, the kitchen, etc. Ahhhh....
