Today's Updates...

Like I previously mentioned, our plans today took us to Ikea in Robinson. We decided to invest in the desk we have been looking at for the last 6 months or so. The old one we had was cramped and rickety. The new, larger frosted glass surface is much more user-friendly (and it looks cool too :)

Old desk...
New desk...
I finally had time today to stain the porch columns, which I'd been meaning to do for the last week. It turned out really well and they look so much better.

Before (the wood was dull and greying)...
Now (we used the same opaque brown stain that was used on the front porch)...

Wow! The sharp contrast on the posts looks really good!

What about the new desk is so user-friendlier?

Thanks for the note that you posted on our animal blogpost. Did you notice that you haven't had any posts about Bear and Bailey recently (unless I'm mistaken)??

Chris, there's just a lot more surface area to spread out work and there's more legroom too! :)
