My mom came to visit me this past weekend (I had Monday off) and she thought it would be good to rearrange my furniture and organize my apartment (and she was right). I got a new entertainment center last month (at Ikea) so I wasn't sure what to do with the old one (and ditto for a desk, I wanted to get a smaller less hulking one).
We talked mostly on Friday night of how to rearrange the furniture and the type of desk that I wanted. On Saturday, we went to Lehman's (as per tradition for anyone that comes to visit me!). We also stopped at Wal-mart to look at cabinets to help organize my vanity area. And after some discussions (and difficulty putting the stupid thing together!), we ended up with this:
Later on Saturday afternoon we headed to Target to get a new desk and after about 30 minutes of discussion (and only slight difficultly putting together the desk and the accompanying side table) and picking out some really cute bamboo storage bins, this is what we ended up with:
On Sunday, we went to World Market (in Akron) to get some baskets to help organize the two re-purposed storage cabinets. So after moving them and going through my kitchen to decide what to move and what to put on display:
Which means my awesome Jane Austen quote mugs are on display!
Bonus points to whoever can tell my which book each quote is from (except for the two that say the book of course):

Everything looks GREAT! I see you decided to move your IKEA chair to the desk - or are you using it both places? Glad I could help get the place organized - hope it's easier to keep it that way! I really enjoyed my visit; Catherine is a great hostess - I highly recommend her B&B!
Re-Trench!
