Office
Everyone is Enjoying the New Rug
Yes, the granny chic rug is in my office, and it's pretty fantastic. Eleanor’s practicing for Stuff on my Cat with Kili. Kili is too lazy to move. p.s. There are a dozen new photos of Eleanor up on my flickr page. I am sparing you the extra eleven, but feel free to click over if you’re so inclined.The Lily Mirror is Here
It was a Valentine’s Day gift, which is funny because we never celebrate the holiday. I mentioned to Brandon that I had a little gift for him (it was a Darth Vader flash drive), and I guess he felt like he should reciprocate. I wasn’t expecting anything, and I was completely surprised when the mirror I wanted for my office arrived! (Brandon totally wins.) My office is coming along so nicely. I just need my crazy rug so that I can pick a new wall color, and then I want to paint the trim too.Cord Management
I posted a a video of Eleanor crawling last month, and a few people had asked about the cords under my desk. Normally you can’t see them, but they were visible because I was filming while sitting on the floor. I used IKEA’s SIGNUM cable management, installed on its side to leave clearance for the desk drawer. I wanted to get the cords up off of the floor because a tangled mess of cords is such an eyesore, but it’s a good idea for childproofing too.Inspiration Board
I made something last night. It’s my attempt at an “inspiration board”, though I confess I think of it more as a big rectangle of pretty clutter. I don’t even know what to do with it now! I like having pictures of it, but I don’t want the actual physical item hung up anywhere. Am I the only one that can’t get behind this whole inspiration board (which is just a fancy word for bulletin board) thing?* I did think of an excellent use for it though: desktop wallpaper.
*Odd, since I put together digital boards all the time. Those serve a purpose though (for a room or an outfit). When the purpose is simply inspiration, I don't find it all that inspiring! Then again, I do like looking at the ones other people have made. I suspect this has something to do with my perfectionist tendencies.
Would it be weird to have this mirror above my desk? It would have to be high enough so that I couldn’t see myself while I worked because yes, that would be weird. I think it could work with the whole granny chic thing I’m going for.
