This is a bit of a different walk down memory lane. One of the first things I did when I started working from home was cleaning out what I guess what you would call my spare desk. I didn’t want to dump a bunch of work stuff on my normal computer. The computer I do all my photo editing on. So I built a computer to me a dedicated work-from-home computer and set it up on the desk that I have had since I was a child.
This started a massive office cleaning project that was at least 7 or 8 years overdue. In fact, when it was finished, Willy couldn’t get over it. During Friday Night Skype Club, he commented on it at least 5-6 times.
I began this process by cleaning out the drawers in my old desk. One of the things I found was a disc of pictures of the work that me and a bunch of friends and family did before I moved in.
I was ecstatic when I found these pictures because I thought they were lost. While I’ve been going through and fixing old “An Artist’s Notebook” posts on these Saturdays I have come across several pictures that were certainly lost. But none that really tore a hole in my soul like losing these pictures.
Now they have been restored to me and now I get to share them with you:
I’m very thankful to all the people that helped turn my house into a home. Many of those same people also helped me move a week later. Such wonderful and tremendous people.
By adding these pictures to the Photography 139 Gallery, I was able to restore the following historic “An Artist’s Notebook” entries to their original glory:

Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will involve Johnathan, at least.
I love the mid-century elements all over your house, especially the window blocks in the entryway. It is so effortlessly cool. I have tried to do our main living area in the new house mid-century, and I love the style so. (Also, we still want to have you and Jesse over for Bollywood Night.)
I think a lot of the stuff in my house is original. I’m only the second owner. It was built by previous owner’s brother. Who was the most respected builder in the area at the time. I actually met him when I bought the house. He came over to meet the new owner. He was really old and couldn’t get out of the car, but it was still a really cool experience.
That is such a unique experience – both to have a special builder, and to meet him.
I don’t know I really have an interior design style. Unless rubber dinosaur and lots of pictures on the wall is a design style. I’ll have to look into that.
