I had decided a while back that I wanted a new desk chair. And the move was a perfect chance to leave the old on on the curb and hunt for something a little easier on the eyes. The old chair wasn’t in bad shape by any means.

I had bought it from ikea a few year back when I first had gotten my current computer, with the idea that I needed something really cozy for hours all the hours of Sims 2 I intended to be playing. Well, iy was very cozy. But, it’s bulky, and just not very “cute”.

So, I began to search for something I liked. I had seen some used ikea chairs on Craigslist from time to time, and was pretty set on going that route, as with almost  all of my furniture except that we did make a Friday night trip to ikea last week and tested a few out…

Meet Patrick (above). If I had my way and an extra $200, this would have come home with me. I LOVE this chair. Maybe Someday…

Another one I enjoyed, in store:

The Skruvsta. Pretty cute, and comfy. Well, as it happens a guy was selling his off on Craiglist.  This chair is about $150 at Ikea. A quick drive to East San Jose and $40 in cash, and I came home with this bad boy Tuesday night. I am pleased.

And there is my desk area as of now! Got my computer set up Wednesday night, THANK YOU HARLEYYYYY!!!!!! It runs GREAT! I’ve got Windows 7! And I think it’s really nice so far! I am a fan.
