Wild Weekend

We got a wild hair over the weekend. I have been debating on moving my ofice space downstairs because I currently have my office in Brigham's room and the poor kid just needs some space of his own. I have been searching the internet high and low for room dividers, shelves, entertainment centers etc. that could help divide the space in my basement so that having my office down there would look decent and makes sense. I found what I wanted on Friday night around 8:30 p.m. on the Ikea website. It was going to cost $300 to ship it so I said lets just drive to Utah right now and pick it up tomorrow and drive back. Scott was on board with this so I booked a hotel and we rounded up the kids and were outta here by 9p.m. We rolled into Sandy, UT around 1 a.m. got a little rest and then got up early and shopping we went. Once we got there the item I thought I wanted was quickly thrown out the window as there were sooooooo many options to choose from. We finally settled on a desk/shelf combo and I am happy with it. I think I can work peacefully down here in the basement rather that stuffed in Brigham's messy room. I love Ikea! I love a husband that is willing to drop everything and take me there last minute and then set it all up for me because he wants me to be happy! 

Here it is in all her glory.  I have a long basement and needed to divide the space somehow without it looking too funny.

My new office space.  Yes, I have a piano in my office but you can't win them all. 
We are giving the Futon to someone Scott works with so it is a little out of place there.  The hula hoop is just always out of place.  This is the view right when you walk down the stairs.  Living room....then office space... then Ashtyn and Haylees room and the bathroom.
