guest bedroom work in progress

It's been a constant work in progress over the past two years, and right now looks like this:

 While it's an improvement, it's not quite where I want it. I'll mainly focus on redoing the computer area, because right now It feels all crammed together and drives me nuts!

I also plan to add a footstool for the ghost chair, switch out the beige curtains for white, and replace our enormous computer with an iMac when they come out with a new version this fall (goodbye, cords!).
