Yes, I've got two Aeron chairs in the office. The desk is close to 30 feet long ... it sort of wraps around two walls in the room. Then in the center is a large island sort of thingie that is a foot high in stuff I need to go through). Then the far wall has those bookcases that I built .... earlier in the year? Maybe late last year? I can't remember.

It was my grandfather's piano, built in 1901 or something. It was in our house growing up, and I learned to play piano on it. After my mom died, it was pretty much the only thing I wanted, so I got it. This after a long argument with one of my aunts who thought it should go to the museum where my grandfather's papers are kept. You can imagine my response to that. However, it got moved several times, and the cats did a lot of damage to the pedals, so it was a bit of a job fixing it up. I still need to have a tuner work on it. Most of the time now, I just pull out my keyboard, plug it in and play (drives the cats crazy ... the only thing they seem to like is Bach).
