Ooh, I want this, even though I don't need it: Portable office built into a steamer trunk
Here's a portable office built into an oversized repro of a vintage steamer trunk -- it's a movable workspace you can take on the QEII or sail off with on a zeppelin.
Crafted by antiques dealer and furniture maker Timothy Oulton of London, our oversized steamer trunk armoire is configured as an ingeniously designed secretary.
* Reproduction antique steamer trunk
* Handmade of distressed vintage cigar leather over a solid wood frame
* Aniline-dyed leather has an antiqued, vintage look
* Accented with over 3,000 hand-hammered brass nailheads
* Features a pull-down desktop and multiple drawers, cubbies, wire management and bookshelves
* Lined in leather-edged canvas
* Stands on wheels for mobility and closes for storage and privacy

Liv is such a cutie! As is Ryan. Mmmm. Buffista babies always make me want to have more babies.
god, I remember when we got new light fixtures for a new house when we were kids. round globes that were flush to the ceiling that probably cost $20, my parents were not so much interested in the giant chrome things I wanted.
You know, she's so agreeable and mellow, she probably wouldn't care much. But I really like allowing the kids to have input and allow them to express themselves in their living spaces.
Barb, I love your daughter's taste! I love the one with the crystals. I'm honoured to borrrow her name!
Oooh, delurking in Natter, scary!
Ooooh, delurking in Natter! Excellent!
And my Abby has quite the taste-- left to her own devices,she would have chosen this one:

But I put the kibosh on that when I said I wasn't likely to spend two grand on a chandelier for my dining room, let alone for HER room!
But Barb, so pretty! And shiny! and sparkly!
