It Worked - Sort Of

48 hours ago my home office

Looked like a mini tornado had gone through it

Check out this post

Here we are at the end of the weekend

And I believe I have accomplished what I set out to

My office is Clean and Neat

Not fully decorated

But CLEAN

Mrs Beasley has her bench back

I do need to decorate this empty wall but 

At least it is a blank slate

 

I LOVE my dresser

I purchased it many years ago (paid too much for it)

But it is a great place to store craft supplies

And a wonderful place to work

It is the perfect height for me to stand

And create projects

(I'm good at creating, just not finishing a project)

(I found 5 unfinished projects while cleaning)

Above the dresser are a couple of my boys

Award winning art projects from their school days

Ribbons and all

 

This is the upper part of the right cabinet

I do have the lower shelf as my office area

The rest is pretties and craft supplies

 

The upper part of the left cabinet 

Is where I keep more craft supplies

And some of my favorite journals

 

I still have some work to do in this area

It feels rather barren

The green sewing cabinet is a find my son owned

He taught himself how to sew on this vintage machine

When they moved to a smaller place

He gave it to me - I love it

 

This is my closet

I purchased the block shelving at IKEA several years ago

I store my scrap-booking supplies here

My finished books, blank papers

And many other things are neatly put away

Someday I'll do a scrap-booking organizational post

I also keep my file cabinet in there

As well as my vintage CD player

And all of my picture boxes

I have added a shower curtain that I can pull closed

If I have guests over

 

I love to use boxes to store things

I found this one pre-decorated at

A scrapbook store when they were closing

 

This one shelf is where I keep all of my daily office stuff

Check books, calendar, pens, stamps, clips, etc

 

Here's another box I found at a yard sale

It was $2 and I added a coat of red paint

Perfect for small note pads and 

All of my 4x6 MatStacks

And of course my cute little chicken guy

 

These glass jars have come in handy

For buttons, threads, wires and ribbons

 

I wasn't quite sure how to use this basket

But it fit perfectly on one of the shelves

And tipping it on it's side

Made a great place to put a few of my 

Favorite journals

 

So, this is my home office work space

And I'm one happy lady tonight

I'm tired

A bit sore

A major migraine

And a few projects to complete decorating the space

But I'm Pleased with having it clean

If you have any tips for adding some 'flare'

I'd sure accept them 

Thanks for the words of encouragement

You all kept me 'in' the project

I'm SO glad I took the risk to openly admit my 

Procrastination problem

It has paid off
