I know, I know. I can't believe it either, and no, I didn't mess it up on purpose for "before" pictures. This is how I lived in my cluttered office for years! When the kids had a school project we moved to the floor. It drove me nuts, but everytime we looked into doing something in there the estimate was in the thousands $$$$ and we couldn't justify it when there are so many other demands on our resources for example, 3 teenagers. Enough said.
Well, one day we happened to be at Home Depot and ran across some nice looking cabinets that were being clearanced out for $100. We both did a double take and quickly tried to find 4 matching ones. After searching the whole store for the 4 cabinets they showed in inventory we got down to business. Just emptying the office was a two day project. Then Brendan painted it, hung the cabinets, we changed our mind and he pulled them off one wall and rehung them on another wall (I know, he's a saint sometimes). Then the fun part began. It took me 2 to 3 days to put everything back and ORGANIZE all my crap! But at the end of the whole thing, I was able to breathe a sigh of relief and sit back and finally enjoy being in the office. Now I can waste even more time on the computer because it feels so much better being in there.

While on the subject of home improvement....let me introduce you to a couple of my new best friends....
I got a new washer and dryer for Mother's Day and let me tell you how much my life has changed with these two beauties!!! 8 to 10 loads of laundry are now done in 3. A load full of jeans takes only 30 minutes to dry (all at once) and so does a load full of towels!
HEAVEN!

I'm so jealous! We are in desperate need of something like that. Especially in our laundry room, there are no cabinets in there to put stuff so it is all on top of the washer and dryer.
WOW! That looks great. Since I'm in the middle of laundry (3rd load of jeans), I'm quite envious of your new washer and dryer. Isn't odd what we get excited about now?
I am so jealous!! Great looking office and great looking washer and dryer. (If I were there in person, I would be stroking them longingly.)
