There IS NO WORKSPACE
Our house went on the market yesterday, after many, many delays. This is our first house and we have lived here for eleven years. We pretty much planned to live here forever and my here-and-there stashes of craft supplies, kids' stuffed animals and old pictures were quite comfortable where they were! Well, adventure and God are calling and we will be heading to Colorado Springs in August so that my DH can attend worship ministry school.
We've known we were leaving (kinda) since last August, (pretty sure) since November, and (for sure) since March. I avoided touching my desk and my shelf workspace until the day before the house listed. In fact, my recent favorite area--the long, low shelf--no longer exists. Once I had the shelves cleared off, my quick and dirty carpentry job looked fairly hideous. (Note to DIYers: Building grade lumber is NOT sufficient for furniture. Not even shelves that you will cover up. If you paint them, the knots just work their way out and all the caulk in the world will not keep them from warping.) So, I dismantled them.
I know that, wherever we land, I'm going to want a surface just like that one...only not hideous. Maybe Ikea will come through for me. Or my father-in-law. His shelves don't warp.
