Bedroom Changes with a Desk

Ehhh-lo, Gov’ner! There’s a desk in my bedroom. Sorry (not sorry), I am in an interesting mood today. Just go with it! It’s an awesome mood actually. I tend to be overly obnoxious when the awesome mood strikes. Oh! AND I watched Downton Abbey last night so my fake British accent is back. It’s not pretty. It’s like Eliza Doolittle before she got the lessons from Professor Higgins…

…So…Yesterday, I shared my 2014 recap with some tidbits on what’s coming up for this year.

One thing happening is our home remodel is back in full force. Hip, hip, hooray! We are working on the bathroom presently and I hope to have it ready to share in a few weeks! EEK!

With our home remodel, things are constantly being moved and changed to accommodate the things that arrive in BIG BOXES and the working space needed to make some beautiful happen around here. My office space, as much as I loved it, had to go. Le sigh. We just needed the space for all the “things”. I will have a new studio and home for it this year, but until that day comes I need a little place to keep it all organized.

I have been operating with a stash-where-you-can-find-room method. Have you tried this method? It kind of blows.

So, I pulled this little writing desk out of my furniture hoard. Did you hear music? I heard it…oh, wait, it’s just the musical furniture again! This little old desk is my office space for now right next to my bed. Déjà vu, right? It is pulling double duty as a nightstand too. The drawers are helping me out in the storage department. The center drawer fits my laptop so I can cleverly hide it when I don’t want it out. BOOM! Storage crisis averted.

My $10 green office chair I scored from Connecticut works with it. I like the mix. I also wanted some flower power so I framed some new artwork. Here’s a tip. Got the winter blues? Frame some flowers and plant them on a wall–instant spring garden.

For Christmas, I received those gorgeous art deco bookends. Swoon! I absolutely adore them! They are holding the books I am getting so much inspiration from right now. Those bamboo frames I thrifted and with a little paint and lacquer they look smokin’. I keep reusing them for things and now they are framing that gorgeous Rifle Paper Co. paper. It’s an ultra feminine look with just enough quirk and different styles and eras mixed in. It’s just me.

Since I am using the gray and white bedding in our son’s room makeover…you know what that means…my bed is going to get a whole new look…which (of course) means a few more things will be changed in this room.

Tomorrow, I am sharing some pillow options and you guys can weigh in on the look you like. I also will be sharing my favorite new office accessories too this week. Hint, hint! A lot of them are in these photos.

We’ll reconvene here tomorrow and discuss!
