My space, all mine!
Posted 4th February 2008 by MaryP
I sold my piano a month ago. I've played piano all my life. I'm pretty good, and can tackle Real music -- Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin.
But I live in a small house, I hadn't played the piano in a long time, and didn't feel we could really afford to take up those 8 square feet of precious floor space with something that had become a large, inefficient (and dusty) storage for clutter.
So, I sold it, put half the proceeds into our savings account, and used the other half to buy a bookcase with a file drawer at the bottom, and a table. A nice black-and-birch, big, smooth, sleek table. Yay, IKEA!
Upon that table sits my SAD light, my laptop, my funky fake-gem-keyed calculator, a notebook and a pen. Because this is my WORKSPACE, baby!
I am so thrilled.
Yes, the wires are tres chic, I know. We'll sort that out shortly. Maybe. And here is my funky diva-woman calculator. The keys are more glittery than shown. (I am a writer. Do I NEED a calculator? No, but I wanted it. And now I have it. And my desk. HA.)

We inherited MIL's piano a few years ago. Only Hubby knows how to play and no one else is keen on learning.
So there it sits, taking up half my living room...oh what I would do with that space if I could.

Mandy - Oh, look! Somethng shiny! And oh, it's MINE!
Florinda - I love my calculator. I've even been using it. (How many words per day am I writing? How long are my average posts?) Just because I have Shiny Buttons to Push...
Lylah - Uncluttered, so far! I bought a shelving unit at the same time, to house my stuff, so the intention is that the table stay uncluttered. Clutter makes me claustrophobic and less productive. I need space around me. Space and light - and there's a largish window to my right, so that's perfect!
