the office


We have a little room off of the kitchen that serves as our office. It gets the prettiest morning light. I was in there this morning and couldn't resist snapping a few pictures. In it's previous life, this room held the washer and dryer and a really old upright freezer. We ditched the freezer and moved the laundry to the Arizona room years ago. Since then, it has housed our computer and my sewing things and was mostly always a disaster. Now that the big desk is in my sewing room, I feel like I can breathe in here again!

My favorite home transformations are ones that use what I already have. The hooks came from Mike's parents. I painted an old black bench Mike had made white. I gathered all of our extra frames and hung some of my favorite art.

The door leads to our large pantry. To the right of the black chair is a little built in desk for our computer. The bright light is coming from the door to the Arizona room. The floors are painted concrete, and are probably my favorite in the house. They are cool and smooth and easy.

  2. I really love that pink! I wonder if I could ever convince my husband that pink paint on the walls is just what we need? :)

  3. Arizona room? What is that? I've heard of a "Florida Room"--maybe it's the same? A room with no heat or A/C with lots of windows??? Beautiful photos! Your house looks neat as a pin. I hope mine will when hubby gets some storage shelves built...

  8. That is seriously the very best shade of pink I've ever seen. This room looks incredible. You are motivating me to clean up EVERYTHING in our office. It is a disaster all the time. Sigh.
