My Office No Longer Looks Like This

My Office

Not that it looked all that bad, but I knew it could be better. I had my cubes on the other side of the room.

My Office

My office was one of the first rooms we set up when we moved in nearly three years ago. We had to do it right away since I work from home, but I’ve been contemplating a redo for quite some time.

We used to have CD towers on each side of the cubes, but we were able to get rid of those now that we’re consolidating all of our media storage into Brandon’s office. Getting rid of those towers allowed me to rearrange the room, and having an electrician add a second outlet allowed me to move my computer. I have a new desk and some new storage, and soon I will take new photos for you!

    There’s nothing quite like an office makeover at the New Year, is there? I’ve been rearranging mine, too, and am feeling so much more creative! Can’t wait to see what you’ve done.

    omg you should change the name of your blog to something having to do with PINK! i didn’t realize your office was so PINK! you rock! looking forward to seeing the new space! i have to say though, the draperies are a little to BRIGHT for my liking; maybe those will be part of the changes? we’ll see!

      My office is actually too pink. I want to paint it and change the curtains, but that will happen a little later.

    I can’t wait to see it! Remember when you tried to put your desk facing the door in the middle of the room? I think you said it looked like the customer service desk at a Washington Mutual.

    …and having said that, now I am hoping that you don’t have it in the middle of the room.

      Ha! It did! I don’t think I even took pictures of that setup – I was too eager to switch it back. ;)

    Wait, did you say TOO pink? I don’t believe it. Can’t wait to see the new re-do.

    And, isn’t something as simple as putting in another outlet sometimes totally room-chaning?

    And I do like the pink, although I know what it’s like to want a change.

    Is that a tablet in your keyboard tray? I absolutely loathe keyboard trays because I find typing on them very awkward, but maybe I’d use one for a permanent place for my tablet… Smart!

      Yes, that’s a Wacom tablet. I love keyboard trays though – part of the reason I got a new desk was so that I could fit my keyboard AND the tablet on the tray!

    You are so crazy talented. How do you feel about expedit by the way? I’ve heard that it can look cheap in white and I’m trying to decide whether to get them for the toys in my living room?
