This is what we'd imagine the loft could look like and it only took ~10 months to get it to this shape. We cleaned and broke down the old table/desk and took it downstairs and then enjoyed doing office-y things in this new space. (Some other night it will be fun to create a wire management solution.)

It was also Jenelle's last day with students, so we had a bit of celebratory dinner at local hotspot Gio, which is a place we hadn't visited but will return. Then, back on our own hotspot - the deck - we enjoyed a nightcap and square of dark chocolate as the sun set and June bugs came out to run the gauntlet between Ollie and Maya, who were hellbent on catching and eating(!) them.
