The "Home Office"
becomes
"The Office"

Working from home...

At least part of the time...

Home is where we all want to be!

If not here...then where?

I really wish I had been able to do this early on, when I first started working...

Traffic is ugly...check

Gas is expensive...check

Anxiety is high...check

HELP ME !!!!

Do I need a power suit?

Well... yes I do...
But I'm only going to wear it a few times a week..if I'm lucky
and the rest of the time I will work from home...with my running shoes still on
and save my sanity!

I want an office within my home that really functions like an office,
but is an equally nice space to be in at any time.
Not just a spare bedroom or a carved out little spot in the laundry room.

Well OK.... I actually like the laundry room idea...

But a great home office is almost as important as a great kitchen!

Don't you think?

Now for the Fluff...

Collecting becomes personal

Let's hope we quit relying on Pottery Barn

and Restoration Hardware

and the very few (decent) Magazines
left out there to be the compass for what is
"collectable"

And I really do love magazines and catalogs...don't get me wrong
but...

please...not these

or these

Hit the swap meet...
and find the next great collection....
it is the so much fun!

WE ALL KNOW THIS....
which is why....

I still collect these

& these

or this

Or maybe none of this junk...
but I really think about collections and try to get out and explore...
and I hate it when I see a "SOLD" tag on a really cool collectable
and think "who was that person who beat me to it?"

crazy I know!

White and Neutral
Don't give up on color...
as you know I am a color geek
but...
