The first step to creating an office nook in our kitchen was figuring out the desk. That was a challenge and took forever. We settled on white oak and found two 8/4 pieces that were long enough- about 103 inches. In hindsight, it seems like a miracle that we found those! (I'll share more about those later as they're being installed)! As for the shelving, finding suitable lumber is proving to be even more difficult.
Well, I went and registered for the Spring 2020 ORC™! I considered joining last month but decided against it, blaming too many half-done projects. And let's be honest. I was scared. But you've heard me say it once and you'll hear me say it again- Feel the fear, and do it anyway! As the week 1 posts starting rolling in, I felt instant regret that I hadn't signed up and so I did! The good news is, I'm excited to bring you along for the ride, have a hard deadline for a project (y'all know I need one!), and be challenged in a new way. The bad news is, I'm already behind. Oops! So let's catch up! The room I'll be working on is
Our current sofa is GORGEOUS and super comfy but it's linen which apparently you can't touch. I have 3 rambunctious kiddos and while we don't eat in the living room, it's literally 3 feet away from where we do eat and a few more feet from the kitchen. Let's just say my kids aren't rule followers and I need a sofa I can wipe down or wash. Enter slipcovered sofas. While I love modern decor and clean lines, slipcovered sofas have the casual look I'm craving. They now come in low and deep styles with track or shelter arms that make my heart go pitter-patter. Per usual, my budget is smaller than my appetite (is that a phrase? It should be). So here are the best, slipcovered sofas I could find for under $2000...and one over that. Couldn't help it!
