Shopping...

The reason I keep coming across anime stuff is that I'm cleaning up the dining/library area, which has served as a junk catchall for the past year, because over the next couple of weeks I'm moving my studio area into there. I did the IKEA thing today - there's been a store open in Frisco, about 45 minutes away, for 6 months now and I kept intending to go. Only got 2 things because I realized quickly that of the $300 I budgeted for this, I was going to ahve to have a good deal of that for the delivery, because even if they fit in my car there was no way I was going to be able to get them out on my own. :)

So I got this desk and this chest of drawers to start off the studio area. I was originally going to buy at least one more table and move the bookshelves over to the area where my work area is currently, but realized that if I didn't I could leave the bookshelves there and buy more bookshelves for the current work space and be a lot happier. And Target has some cheap 5-shelf bookshelves for sale, so I think I may be over there tomorrow.

This is a coffee table I've got my eye on - I like the storage, plus the ability to extend it if necessary. In black-brown, of course, not that birchy color.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with my current desk, which looks sort of like a Stealth bomber. IKEA wanted $60 to take it away, and ... I don't THINK so!
