We decided that we really had no use for our sofa bed, and we really need a desk. Once we go full time we’ll need someplace to ‘take care of business’ (Yeah, go ahead, hum Bachman-Turner Overdrive, to yourself please 😊 ).

We kicked around the idea of just going to Ikea and finding a nice small kitchen cabinet and a countertop. We had what we thought was a great selection picked out and we were just about ready to “go do”.  You’ve heard the expression “a funny thing happened on the way to the forum”? … well…

We went to Lowes, just to take one last look at their cabinet selections and we happened to walk past their countertop laminates. Lo and behold – THEY HAD THE EXACT LAMINATE used throughout our rig! Hmmmm, … a sign! Needless to say, we now have a set of cabinets that almost match the existing cabinetry in our rig and a countertop that does exactly! The desk is large enough that we can both sit at it and work on our laptops … and neither of us need to wear elbow pads to keep the bruising to a minimum – at least unintentionally 😊. And … we managed to sell the old sofa on CraigsList for a fair price to help cover the cost!
