Office Space

I haven't blogged about decorating in a long time...and I've been in this house for a little over 6 mos. now. Guess it's time to get my act in gear??? This is one of the areas that attracted me to this rental. The little desk/office space at the top of the stairs. Since I don't have a room available that can be dedicated to an office, this is the next best thing.

Need Extra Storage?

These rustic tins from Pottery Barn are fabulous! I would love to add them to my living room, or wouldn't they be perfect in a home office?

Room re-arrangment

When I was a child I thought it was very exciting when my mom would re-arrange the furniture. Whether it was the living room, or even better when my brother and I would get to switch rooms. This gene must have been passed down to me, because I am always switching things around in search of the perfect spot, whether it's the sofa or the silverware. And as an added bonus re-arranging is like getting something new...without spending any money;)
Today I re-arranged the family room. I borrowed a few pieces from the living room. I'm really liking the blue and green together. Now I need to find something to go over the sofa.
This is a really awkward room to work with, very narrow. I have often wondered if this was actually meant to be the dining room way back when the house was originally built???


The office area. Someday I would like to actually have a room. But until then, this corner works out ok.


This is the only eating area in the house. It's rather small, another reason I wonder if the family room was originally the dining room. Any thoughts?

The Home Office

Someday I would like to have a home office. A whole room completely dedicated to the computer, wonderful books, and maybe even a little place to relax and read. Right now our computer is in the family room, too sad to even post a picture. I actually have the perfect room in mind for this dream office, however it is currently being occupied by one college student, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
In the mean time.....

I'm also dreaming of a guest bedroom, but that's another child, and another story ...
