Plans for my dream office updated

And the real office looks nothing like the original plan, because I subsequently discovered chalk paint and Swedish style. I have a repurposed desk, side table, futon etc. done up in Swedish colors. And a Mora style clock on a golden carved shelf salvaged from the neighbor's trash. My frugal immigrant ancestors would be proud. 


 playing with iPads and fantasizing about Macbooks, I suddenly realized that I do not actually live a nomadic life.  Most of the time I'm in Arlington!  A new dream took shape: a repainted and re-purposed bedroom (I won't say which one, but the former Arlington denizens can guess) with a flat sisal rug.  I'll decorate it with my old government awards until I decide I don't need their validation anymore, and other artwork that deserves a new home. I see a glossy glass-top computer desk, a small file cabinet, a bookcase or 2, and on the desk a honkin' huge Mac desktop! 27 inch screen, tons of memory and storage - with that technology in a comfortable setting, I could really sink my teeth into the world of digital photos and communication.

Fortunately I've seen relatively inexpensive glass desks on the Target website, and have found a website for refurbished Macs at half the price of new models.  So I could realize this dream if we ever get the room cleaned out!

Any thoughts on the Mac idea, please let me know.
