My Little Corner


This week's project in my little corner was to bring up my main computer and peripherals from the basement. I've been usingThe Young One's old laptop networked to the printer, but I was getting tired of running up and down the stairs to print something.

I had been looking for a computer desk. Something that would be able to hold the printer and the document scanner. Nothing seemed to fit the bill.

I had a 6 foot folding table in the garage. The table was used when I did craft fairs. Himself graciously dug it out so the Little Princess didn't have to worry about the spiders or any critters that might have decided to make a home in it. Fortunately, they didn't. I gave it a good cleaning and a colorful, cheap inexpensive tablecloth gave the table a makeover.

All the equipment fit and all the electrical spaghetti is contained and hidden under the table. From downstairs, I brought the chair up from my writing desk. It's seen better days, but is serviceable for the time being.

Next up is to reconfigure the computer  arrangement so I can get Himself's computer off the dining room table. Just on the off chance we use the dining room table to dine on instead of a flat file.

  1. Your computer corner looks great, and the table cloth gives it a cheerful look. How nice of your husband to dig out the table and check for spiders and other undesirables! Have a fun sitting at your new place! Hugs, Valerie

  2. Other than missing any built in storage-the table works great. It seems when you want something you can't find it and when you aren't looking for it you will, so at some point that desk will appear. :) Think you just got rain. Icy here. But it is suppose to warm up as the day progresses. Happy Monday. Hugs-Erika

  4. I'll admit it is certainly colorful. And I like that you didn't go out and buy anything new, except the colorful tablecloth. Nice, inexpensive makeover.

    1. It would be helpful if tables had curved surfaces so you couldn't pile stuff on top :-D
