This is my office. My creative space. We threw it together one weekend when the kids were away (thank goodness) and I had a horrible double ear infection (the worst feeling ever.) The result being that we didn’t paint the walls or my desk and that things barely got organized. We just put the shelves up, placed the desk and threw everything in. Over the past 9 months I have slowly been trying to find place for everything – both the personal and the professional.
January is a good month for getting things in place because, well let’s face it, I am not doing much else. So yesterday Whitney came over and we sorted and filed and purged our way through the mountains of receipts and papers and bills that have been waiting for a home.
(If you have a room that need’s sorting, I highly recomend having a “organize swap” with a friend – it is a lot less overwhelming to do it together, rathan than tackling it alone!)

Next, my brother Joshua is going to come and paint the walls a pale, creamy pink, and my desk and chair a creamy white ( Country White from Wal-Mart -my favorite white of all time. It goes with everything!)
I think having a paler background will help me think clearer and feel like things are less “busy”. Even though my little space looks clean and neat now, it is not always this way – believe me.


hey was the closet comment in reference to me?! i just wish i had a window in my creation cave.
I dream of someday having a home office. Overlooking a beach. With a butler bringing me drinks at my command. And a cool breeze blowing as I type at the keyboard of my brand new PowerBook. I don’t ask for much 🙂
What a pretty and inspiring place to work!
