Read More »I think our home office may be our longest-running project to date. That’s partly because I’m indecisive on final selections, but also because our needs have changed quite a bit in the last two years. In my last home office update, I go into a lot more details, so I’ll avoid being redundant. But essentially, after I got a bid for built-in cabinets in our home office, I felt de-railed again.

The only issue is, the bid came back in nearly double what they initially thought it would be. So, needless to say, I didn’t move forward. Even if we cut a bunch of the storage, I still wasn’t convinced we could get it anywhere near the original bid they thought they could achieve. And quite honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if those prices have gone up another 10% minimum since last summer. Here’s the rendering from my dream built-in cabinets that we finally came up with.

In addition to the cost, Kurtis didn’t like the fact that I’d be moving him to the “wall desk” for the hour or two he sits with me each morning. I had been hoping to simplify the space by having him sit there, and then just have a floating desk in the middle for me. So, it was back to the drawing board!
