I’m so excited! Yesterday, while I was working at Borders, my new office was built. It’s a built-in wrap-around desk of cherry that looks out onto our backyard. I’m writing this from my office desk for the first time. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a new feature in my house! LOL. Here is a picture–kind of hard to see because of the sun shining in–clearly I need to buy some blinds. I’ll post another picture when I have it all set up!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, everyone! I hope yours has been as good as mine (no better gift than to be able to write about people falling in love from a shiny new desk, lol!).

That’s so exciting to have a new desk! And, an office space. I still dream of my future office when I have a house that is big enough for my own writing room. It will have a plush, comfy sofa, a writing desk, tons of books, windows (with a nice view, I hope) and the walls will have murals. Sigh. 🙂
Congratulations!
And, Happy Valentine’s Day!

It’s gorgeous – I’d love to have a room like that with that huge desk! You’re a lucky woman! My challenge would be to write with that lovely view beckoning. 🙂

Oh how nice it would be. I also love the sun shining through the windows! We haven’t had much sunshine lately we have snow clouds today with snow on the way! I am so ready for spring.

Jennifer, this is simply lovely. You’ve made me want to have my own custom desk built for my writing room. 🙂

Thanks, everyone. I’m still really excited about it. Still haven’t really gotten to work in it–the doors were put up today. Maybe tomorrow! It really is my dream office. 🙂

It’s beautiful, Jen! How wonderful to have your dream office! I hope every day brings you lots of happy writing in there!

The desk looks great! Is this the house that MIGHT be entirely in a floodplain?I don’t remember ever reading about what you ended up doing – buying it or choosing a different house.
Thinking of you.
