To Do List 2012: Part 2

The Office

This task will likely get down quickly because we both have freelance work to do and the office is UNBEARABLE to work in. Take a look. I didn't clean it at all for these photos:

*** WARNING***
***horrible slobbery below***

Most of the clutter is due to us being unorganized, but a fair portion can be blamed on Franca.
This is her favor room to destroy.
Give the girl 2 minutes and she will find every sharp object, every stack of loose paper and every breakable thing and put them in a big pile in the middle of the room. Oh, yeah, and then she will distribute all of those things to other things upstairs. (I literally found a Dr. Scholls shoe insert under my pillow last night. No joke. Oh and yes, I did need shoe inserts for my freelance work.)

"Why don't you just keep her out of the office?", I hear you thinking. Ah ha, if it were only so easy. You must not live in a crack house with doors ever so slightly off their hinges as to not close completely. We do. Sigh.

Good thing is, I've already made progress on this renovation project. I emptied the room. 

(And found 13 stink bugs.)

Here is a photo of one of the challenges of this task. Bad plaster. At one point, the window above this must have been leaking. Ugh. We have since re-flashed the roof, so it doesn't anymore, but we still have to fix this.

Stay tuned for details on our plans for this office!

p.s. I'm selling my desk on craigslist. It's pretty great. Here's the link.
