angleigh Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The last few challenge have been a little harder, this one will be a little simpler. This weeks challenge is "to your left" Yep...whatever your doing right now as you read this take of photo of what's to your left. When I read the photo challenge I was sitting on the couch taking a little "lunch break" so here's what you get. An old chest we found at an antique store, actually all the tables in my front room are antique store finds. A hand me down rug from my parents..but hey it was free, matched and saves my carpet a little. And a chair that we had to remove ginger's kennel from the front room for (like she ever used that) because Gary just got a recliner for his birthday and we had to re arrange a bit. So what's to your left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I should be outside but it's another rainy day and a friend is here fixing my washer. He went to get a part, so I'm sitting in my dining room with my computer and eating lunch. To my left is the kitchen - past the little hallway. I can see the microwave to the left and the sink straight ahead. Fun photo challenge Angie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Great challenge Angie. Ok...ugly photo here. I am on the boat---at the table with my computer and this is what is to the left of me. Ugh. Not pretty!!!!Probably one of the ugliest corners of the boat. Window covered because it's raining, cords all over from my computer. Chart rack a mess because we have been using them as we travel. Oh well, this is life on a boat!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took him over an hour to get the agitator out, because the screw was stripped so he was literally banging at it piece by piece with a scrwedriver and hammer -- and a saw! Hard, manual labor, but he finally got it. At the parts store, they only had 3 of the 4 parts he needs so now he will be back on Tuesday afternoon. Been about 2 weeks I had a washer, pretty easy with clothes in the summer - shorts, tanks and on pool gonna be a LONG time I will be doing laundry once it's fixed. But, at least I didn't have to buy a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelle Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 When I'm at home, my laptop is almost always plugged in in our front room, which has become my office. You've already seen part of this room before, so nothing surprising, but to my left are the two chairs my daughters, and sometimes my DH, like to sit in while I scrap. You can even see the dirty spot on the wall where my 10 year old props her feet. Ugh, sorry! That white chair is from the days when I would sit with my girls when they were babies, and rock and nurse them. Notice the candle on my desk, too. I've got two fake pillar candles on my desk that DH bought me before last Christmas, because I love candles, and I prefer lamplight or candle light to harsh overhead light. These are battery powered candles, and I always have them on when I'm here at my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

englishrose Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 This is the room I call my study. IKEA bookshelves groaning under the weight of books, boxes of memorabilia and photos.

lorac Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Here is what is to the left of me right now. It's my computer, printer with memorial photos of my two kitties Cissy and Daisy, TV, stuffed animals hanging off of the TV, and of course butterflies.

ladyscrapalot Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Angie - your view looks comfy and cozy, love the rug and the cushy chair! Marilyn - pretty wallpaper. Do you have a skylight in your kitchen? Hope your washer machine get fixed and it stops raining. Debby - boat living looks divine!!! DH and I are considering getting an rv in the future. Although I think we'd both love the boat life. Andrea - that is a cool looking lamp, I really like the curvy metal. My youngest dd collects mugs and I think she would like that one, so pretty. Joyce - your left looks so inviting and cozy, pretty pictures you have on the wall. Mikelle - how sweet that your family will come and sit with you while your scrap. My girls are on their own and well I don't have extra sitting my computer soooo, lol! Your couch and chair look super comfy. Hilary - I love IKEA!! my youngest dd would be green with envy with your bookcase. And I think Joyce mentioned wall of bookshelves with a library ladder, Jaclyn would be in heaven. Carol - your view as lots to look at for inspiration. I love the 2 lady pictures on your wall, those are very cool! And your sweet kitty napping!! Wow ya'll's view put mine to shame. Mine is quite boring and sort of in process. Jaclyn and I switched desks because the one she had would have been too big for her tiny apartment. So my view to the left shows where my desk used; on the wall next to the window. Jaclyn's desk has a bookshelf attached to the right of it so it would have blocked the light from the window. I have had a chance to move the 2 bulletin boards and white board to where my desk is now which is on the other side of the window. I made a little yoga corner/storage area and I can see in the photo that I forgot to turn off my diffuser after I finished my yoga. All the wires were recently added when when switch satellite companies. DH had them add them in my computer in case I ever want to add a tv in here which I don't. I'm not much of an interior decorator but I make do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think everyone's spaces look cozy! Carol, your kitty makes ME want to take a nap.

To answer your questions - nope, no skylight in my kitchen, but I'd love to have one! There's a window to the right of the one straight ahead and a flourescent light up above... The washer should be (hopefully) fixed on Tuesday and it finally stopped raining today after a few more flash floods last night! I'm really enjoying sharing in a piece of everyone's space!
