Close Enough

There's still tweaking to do, but I decided that since the big things were done, I would share the office photos now. If I wait till everything is finit, that could take awhile. These things take time. Sometimes I ruminate for hours over the tiniest little detail.

So without further ado, I give you The Office, in all her *glory*. (I say that with more than a hint of sarcasm, because really, it's just a room. Nothing ground-breaking or terribly original. I fear that by dragging things out like I have, I have made it seem as though it were going to be something stupendous. No. It's really pretty ordinary. (And as you will see, it's very girly-girl, but I did that because I'd always wanted to decorate with pink...and it didn't seem right to subject Matt to that. And hey! I'm a girl! So why not do it for me?)


Impulse buy at Target. I like these little "bulbs". They make me happy while I wait for the real thing.

The story behind the Keep Calm & Carry On poster is here.

The area behind the curtain has become the cats' favorite new hang-out. Lovely.

The top of the bookshelf is not staying this way. I threw those things up there and was too lazy to take them down and/or do something else. Just one example of the tweaking that needs to be done. The pots will get a coat of white paint (if they stay) and maybe some wheat grass. The fan is a bit small for that spot. I do like the star, though. It's made from one of those old wooden tape measures that fold up, an idea I stole from the JunkMarket girls.

Also, something is needed above that chair, don't you think?

After uploading these photos and looking at them, I realized what a mess this bookshelf is. Magazines falling all over each other, items haphazardly placed. Photo styling is hard work! There's a lot you don't see until it's too late. And since I didn't want to start over, let's just say this is another spot that will be getting some attention. But not now, because I have to cook supper.

Oh, and I think I mentioned in another post that I'm finding the inspiration board a little less than inspiring the way it is, so that's going to be modified in some way, too. Someday.

That's all, folks!
