Blue and Gray-- Office Projects

Once upon a time I had plans for my office. I wanted a beautiful and inspiring space where I could work (read as in blog, budget, read, lists, etc). It was to a room where everything was organized and within reach.

Then one day (March) I became very sick (not pregnancy--I had full fledged influenza) and everything was put aside.

On one Monday morning, I received an email from my mother asking for her sewing machine back. The one I borrowed months ago to finished certain projects for the office. I replied, no problem, I will drop it off this week.

In a frenzy, I entered my craft room determined to get a few things finished. I hadn't been in that room since I made the St. Patrick's Day and Birthday bows for Livy!

My office has been painted a beautiful blue gray color that I absolutely love! It has a calm feeling about it. In the corner there are two large windows that let in a lot of light and below one window a wicker chest (currently used to store shipping materials).

After a day measuring and cutting, this is what I have! Window treatments (still need blinds) and a new sitting area!

I still haven't come across my decorative upholstery tacks to hang up the curtains. Push pins will have to do until I can make it to Home Depot.

To fit in with the theme, my blue/gray cat has claimed the chest as her own. The chest will be painted white, but that is another project for another day!

Just a few more projects and then I can call the office complete! On the look out for an antique window with or without the glass.
