More Furniture!

Our last piece of furniture (so far as we've planned) arrived Thursday of this week. With the extra room in our new house, we've had spaces to fill. We have a crafts-and-homework corner of our large family room. It has a bookshelf for the girls' homework reference books (encyclopedia, dictionary, etc.); a table and benches and chairs for doing homework, crafts, stamping, scrapbooking, playing games and cards, etc.; and a pie-chest-style cupboard for storing coloring books, crayons, markers, and so on. We needed something to house the computer that the girls will (eventually) use for homework, so we got this:

(No, that's not our house.) Earlier this fall we got a console-style entertainment center for our family room TV, DVR, DVD player, VCR, and stereo. It's similar in style to this one, but this isn't the exact model:

Meh, at least you get the idea. Ours actually is pretty close in style to the computer desk above with the same kind of lead work in the glass door. (Our entertainment console has one glass door on the left and one solid door on the right.)

Next mission: buy a new computer for Susan and me to use in the main office, shuffle our computer downstairs for the girls to use, and dump the one currently down there. (Cathy or Jay, any recommendations or advice?)
