As for the desk portion of the room, the changes are small but significant. I sew a greenish-yellow curtain for the window, which adds a nice backdrop of color, and blocks the sun much better than the vertical blinds that previously hung in its place. We also invest in a new office chair for the boy, since his old one is terribly uncomfortable, and ugly to boot. (Tip on where to get good office chairs: don’t go to the office superstores … their chairs seriously suck, and aren’t even cheap. You can get much better chairs at better prices by looking for an office furniture retailer that sells used stuff.) The new chair sports a funky yellow/green pattern that works just peachily with the rest of the room.

Of
course, once you start making some changes it’s hard just to step back
and say enough! In one last attempt to out-Martha the queen of
matchy-matchy decorating herself, I actually go ahead and make a
conscious decision to change our computer screen backgrounds to
complement the new color scheme. Yes, it’s supremely anal-retentive to
change your screen background to match your décor. But since our
screens our what we look at the most when we’re using this room, I
actually manage to convince myself that color-coordinated screen
backgrounds are crucial. It’s really rather sad and I’m pretty
embarrassed to admit it, but with this last little color detail attended
to, I’m happy with the room at last.
