I also have some pretty cheep furniture (not cheep when be purchased them) we are looking to pass on to a new owner.  The following are some furniture pieces, pictures and our asking price.

1. Futon Couch - Wood frame w/ large folding mattress.  $250 OBO
Futon has seen some better days, but is still holding on strong.  The wood frame has some damage from poor construction by the producer but still functions as expected.  A few scratches and loose screws here & there.  The reason this is $250 is for the futon mattress and it is still in great condition.

2. Coffee Table - Wood Coffee Table w/ space below for small boxes/movies/whatever.  $100 OBO

3. Dinning Table w/ 4 chairs - $300 OBO.
Great table and chairs, simple.  Minor teeth marks on bottom wood thanks to teething puppy, although it is very unnoticeable.  We will sell the table with only 2 chairs if you so desire, or if you want to purchase the chairs on their own lets discuss.

4. Swivel work chair $30 OBO

5. 2X Gemini Printer Stand/File Cart, Maple/Black $40 each OBO
Great little file carts, used them to store books, files & draw on when I did freelance work.  I have two to get rid of, unfortunately I sold the tables they came with.  Click the link below for more detail from Staples where we purchased them.

So I’ve recently take some time to look at matthaltom.com and it just wasn’t serving the purpose I need out of my homepage these days, just to connect with people.  I’ve show my work for some time and at this point I do not mind archiving my old website to http://portfolio09.matthaltom.com and taking the step into Tumblrville.

I’ve always been interested in doing some Tumblr themes and from all my previous Wordpress work, thus far its been pretty simple.  I am currently working on a new tumblr theme to replace this public theme.

So why switch to Tumblr from Wordpress?

1. First was the social aspect, it takes less effort to expose some of my content then it would through Wordpress.  Instead of just an RSS feed, tumblrs follow feature works great.
2. Second, I’m not a blogger.  Really.  I’m not big into but I feel the need to share cool stuff from time to time, thus tumblrs simple and short nature of posting fits me better.
3. Lastly, I just wanted to do a tumblr theme for once.

Anyways, stay tuned as I work to post more projects and hopefully become a more active tumblr user. :)

Several of you have probably noticed I’m not exactly posting designs every day.  Have I failed? Not really.  This project has already helped improve my illustration and use of Wacom Tablets in Illustrator & Photoshop.  So why am I behind on designs?  I have certain priorities that have moved from “want to do” to “need to do”.

I MUST make a commitment to learning Portuguese, & like you all know there is not time for everything in one day.  I will no longer be posting designs EVERY DAY, but I will definitely still be posting (so don’t go anywhere).  Perhaps I’ll do some Portuguese specific designs to help me learn ;).
