Another reason that M and I are so well suited is that we’ve spent as least two hours today taking over email about radiators and radiator placement.
He said “We’d just need to know maximum sizes of radiators and BTU/kW needed for the room. We can mock it up in SketchUp tonight? We need to mock up room layouts to sanity check radiator sizes anyway.”
What man would offer, and indeed like doing mock room layouts? He is a prince among men!
Well this next picture may test peoples opinion on my supposed good taste. Our latest (about twenty minutes ago) eBay win:
Lookit those elegant spindly turned legs and those kneehole drawers. I feel the need to write my morning letters at it on lavender scented note paper. We need somewhere to put our macs (and our old desk was left behind as it was built in) as M’s iMac is currently taking up the dining table and we’d really like somewhere to eat again. Also every bit of important paper seems to have gravitated to said table to be worked on. Lawks, I want to drink my tea at the dining table!
The desk will be living in our main bedroom so it needed to be pretty and have that whole posh ladies dressing table aesthetic going on. We’ll see how ‘orange’ the ash desk is when it arrives as to whether we make any changes to it. I may put some adorable little ceramic and brass Victorian castors on it for added flexibility and line the drawers with pretty flock wallpaper. If the handles are chipped in any way I might swap them for round china or glass ones.
