Office Updates and Rug Pad USA Review

Last week, after my Mom pointed out to me that I really only ever share my entry, living and dining rooms and that I need to branch out and invite you all into the rest of my home, it got me thinking. That should totally be my goal for 2014!

 There are so many things I want to do in our upstairs hall, bathroom, master bedroom, office and even kitchen, and I invite you all to be a part of this with me. (Which, doesn't mean you won't see my other overshared spaces because I definitely have a couple of things in my dining room that I would love for you all to see, too.)
 

Homeschool/Office Shelving

 

 

Have you checked out the last couple rooms tours I shared? If not, you can catch them here and here.  I snapped some of the pictures one sunny day and supplemented with some I had on file because, our house has been an utter disaster. I have so many projects going on at once, rooms that are half finished, stacks of supplies and ugly furniture waiting for makeovers. One thing I love about blogging is the documentation. See. Now I have proof that I have accomplished things even if it does look like a bomb went off in here.

 

[Project Notebook] Home Office

I've mentioned on Facebook, more times than I can count, how much I truly cannot stand our office/classroom. It is a total disaster and collection of everything that doesn't work elsewhere in out home. And this is pretty much where we spend all our time, people! It needs to stop.  Since I buy mostly thrift, it will take me time to find all the right pieces, but that's to be expected. I'm reusing lots of what we already have and moving furniture from room to room (my oldest took most of the current storage up to his room for his makeover, so this is giving me a bit of a fresh start).  Oh, and since this is a tight space with lots of stuff (remember that this is both our office and homeschool classroom) I am picturing light and bright with lots of open storage.  Here's my inspiration:

Now, I'm off to continue painting shelves (bright white, of course) for said office makeover.

 

Have a great day!
