Thanks for the mention! I enjoyed reading some new personal finance site I hadn’t discovered.

Our office is mismatched, like yours. We gotten one desk for $50 and since my desk was ruined during the move, I now have a fold-out table for my desk. I hope to find some furniture myself.

I’m even worse – my workspace is two folding tables, a 2-drawer file cab from a yard sale and three plastic drawers! Talk about temporary! AND it’s in my livingroom… but I kinda like it that way. The kids hang out and we all watch TV together while I do the boring chores (I save stuff I need to concentrate on for when they’re at school or I boot them to the other rooms). DH’s computer is right next to mine on one of those particle board tables and he’s using a folding tv tray for a return!

That said, I plan to scour the second hand stores around here and spend some of our recent earnings on new desks. We do have plans to move our ‘office’ into another space, leaving the big room to the kids and video games and all that. I’m hoping with the economy being the way it is, there will be some nice used office furniture going cheap!

I’m in the same boat as you. I hate our computer desk, and what’s worse is that it’s right in our main living area. But it’s functional and desks are so expensive. It will have to do for now.
