The Office Makeover Journey

I'm gearing up to do a complete make-over of my home office.  Space is tight and it's just not working anymore.  I'm leaning toward a blue and brown combo.

I really like this room because there is lots of white.  I can't handle anything being too dark.

And I really like the looks of this room...

The desk below is almost identical to my "computer desk" except mine is a beautiful wood with a herringbone pattern on top.  And, no - I'm not going to paint it white.  It was the first piece of furniture I ever bought about 40 years ago.  It's been a desk, a dressing table, a entry way "table", and now it's a "computer" desk.

 I also have my large Colonel Governor Winthrop desk in my office for my "desk" work exactly like this one.  

I'll take some pictures of the actual room (and I won't even clean it up first - aren't I brave??)  My biggest problem is a work space for my crafty and Etsy projects and some idea's are jelling in my little pea brain.

I'm hoping you will all help me with this journey.  Hundreds of heads are so much better than one...

Back to pot painting...

Desk Day

Today will be completely devoted to what I call "desk work."  As you can see by the state of my desk and my mail catch-all in the laundry room, it's not a minute too soon. 

 

My catch-all even has a bottle of hand sanitizer and a tube of cat hair-ball remedy shoved in with the mail.  Don't ask!

My desk top has about disappeared...

One of the things I have to do is get caught up on my letter writing which is really a lost art in today's world.  

As a reward for getting my "desk work" done, I'll be getting out some of the paper I've collected over the past few months to line some envelopes.  I'll take some pictures and show you how simple it is to make a plain envelope really pretty. 

I usually hand write my letters and have an array of fountain pens I use. Today, due to the length of some of the letters,  I will probably use the computer. 


I'm curious about how many of you write letters.   Let me know in the comment section.
