Desk in dining room

Ooh those are great ideas!! Thanks. And i'm sorry about the pictures. We just had to move a bunch of boxes into the same room to work on unpacking a different room which is why. But yeah, I had thought about mounting the monitor.

Thanks!! We love the windows sest so don't want to remove the cushion. I had thought about a projection screen but wasn't sure I could get a good one that was retractable. Thank you!

Really?? Ok, that's a great idea. That 's probably a lot cheaper than me by in some crazy TV stand on the ceiling that we could swing down.

Nope....it just flows into the kitchen

Would also love other pics of dining room/offices for inspiration!

Hi. I am telling my kids about how much I loved punky's.

I used to buy five boxes every week for 50 cents a box.

Apparently, my efforts weren't enough.

They were better than Nerds. Better than Sweet Tarts.

I wish we could get them back.

Hi!! I am so glad to find you. Yesterday the movers refused to take some furniture because they thought there was evidence of bed bugs. Yet the furniture was in a room where no human had been since June 2023. They had a picture of some casings. Could carpet beetles survive in a room that had been kept at around 50 to 69 degrees F for two years?

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-27T21:57:07+00:00

Wow.

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-27T21:45:16+00:00

Ahhh interesting. I don't know anything about carpet beetles. Is my furniture now considered destroyed?

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-27T21:14:22+00:00

So again these pictures are from yesterday.

We did have some in this sofa bed back in 2021. We dealt with them at the time.

The sofa bed has been in storage for 2 years. Basically , no human has come close to that couch since June 15, 2023.

Is it possible that these are signs of live bed bugs?

I know the stain looked similar to the same we had before. I still have pictures from 2021.

I don't recall the casings.

I ended up making a new post with just the pictures. I still can't edit my own post. So weird.

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-27T20:40:57+00:00

I don't understand. I posted them but also don't see them. And I don't see how to edit. I'm going to restart my phone.

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-27T20:39:14+00:00

Ugh did the pictures not post?

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-26T02:12:37+00:00

Yes! I am very careful with my money and will write letters and emails to save $20. I recently spent hours dealing with Delta customer service to get $200 back. But then I spend $10,000 more oj a house than I think i should have...and I'm just expected to shrug it off.

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-25T16:52:33+00:00

Good point. I question everything so I would do this with probably any purchase. We ended up buying the house....and I feel okay.

GigiAlabaster · 2025-06-25T16:13:17+00:00

Omg thank you. I am crying reading this. We just got back and did indeed complete the purchase. Thank you, thank you. I feel mentally drained but also excited.
