Wallpaper Madness

10.17.2012

You may or may not know that I love wallpaper. It isn’t just for the 80s. It’s back in a big way. It’s everywhere. And I love it. I’ve been looking for something for my cloffice for a while. Just waiting for something perfect to jump out at me. I mentioned Anthro options back in [...]

Office Organization

02.14.2012

I was going a bit crazy with my lack of organizational system in my cloffice.  In December we were up in Tahoe celebrating a  friend’s 30th birthday and the home we stayed in had a fabulous organization system I knew would be perfect for me. It’s Pottery Barn’s Daily System. And the price sure adds up [...]

The Bill Collector

07.26.2011

Instead of stacking incoming mail and papers on my desk space (and then losing track of them), I thought a great idea would be to have corkboard on the back of the cloffice door that we could pin bills to when we open them. Now we’ll never get a past due notice!  It was just a [...]

A few additions…

05.04.2011

One day out shopping and I found a lamp shade in the clearance area of Anthro to cover the naked bulb in my cloffice. For $3.95, I’m positive there isn’t a better solution.  I’m dreaming of a fabulous light in that space, but for now I’m happy! I should also mention I’m looking at built in [...]

Coming out of the Closet

04.07.2011

My new Office in a Closet is progressing. After moving the vacuum/Steam Mop and vending supplies to the other spare closet, it’s become devoted to all things ME I’ve added some of my craft supplies with the hope that all craft items can be stored in here at some point. I’ve done some rearranging and new placement to [...]

The New Cubicle

03.28.2011

Just like a Bed in a Bag, I now have an Office in a Closet! I’ve talked about converting our two closets into an office for quite a few months now, but I thought we’d  tear out the wall that both share to make a larger office space. That seems to no longer be necessary, [...]

Working without a desk

03.24.2011

I somewhat impulsively posted my desk on Craigslist to help us scale back on space in the office, and it sold about 36 hours after posting it… Leaving me with a room that looks like this: You now can see I never finished my stenciled wall that I started, ohhhh six months ago. (Did you [...]

Office dreaming

01.08.2011

So it seems everyone’s resolution is the same this year, and it isn’t even about losing weight! It’s organizing and becoming a better person. LOVE it. Imagine how becoming a better person helps our world and those around us;  I think organization is part of making me a better person because I’m less burdened by [...]

New Uses for Old Things: Windows

11.17.2010

I have been nearly obsessed with old windows for a few years now, and have toted them along with me to 3 homes.  Now that we have a house, I’ve finally faced the realization that paring down and getting rid of the ones I’m not going to use (I probably had 20 of them!) is [...]

Office Sneak Peek

11.01.2010

I’ve been working on the office the past two weekends, and it’s definitely coming together.  I found a fabric I think I’ll be using for the curtain and I think it brings it all together – a sample is hanging from the blind so I can envision it.  Here’s a sneak peek!  The quatrefoil stencil is [...]
