Below are some poor-quality photos (below the pictures is a detailed decor list and a to-do list)
The wall above has a door to the bathroom and 2 closets, so we didn't need a desk with lots of drawers. My hope is to make the right side of the desk (by where the calendar is hanging) a mail stop so papers don't pile up in the kitchen... This is where John gets to put most of his antiques - most of which are currently displayed on the bookcases. Eventually maybe I'll put up some shelving, but there's really not a whole lot of wall space with the window and 2 walls of doors!
