Beyond excited to share this view with you…
While the main portion of my home office is still under heavy consideration (can’t make up my mind – still), I’m beyond excited to have this beautiful shelf totally organized and decorated. I shared the drawer interiors not long ago…
I was in desperate need of a spot for my gift wrap and wrapping accessories. These drawers were just the answer.
And the fact the piece is nice and wide gave me even more room to have storage boxes and decor on the shelves as well…
My overall goal for the office is less stuff which hopefully means less furniture to contain what remains. I’m aiming for open and airy in this space…with plenty of surface room to spread out designs, materials, etc. This shelf is the perfect spot where pretty storage boxes can still contain useful office items that I don’t need within reach. So I wanted the shelf decor to be a mix of pretty and functional.
And here it is now…
Such a happy, happy view! My new desk will face this wall so I was going for a calm, peaceful vibe. These colors give me all of the good feelings. And you can see the shelf from the bottom of the stairs. It’s a really nice view looking up now!
I added frames, which will soon be filled with faces I love, storage boxes, a couple acrylic magazine files (I see these eventually containing only special business memories)…

I love this ceramic ampersand from Pottery Barn…
The upper shelves hold more frames, a few special books I love, decor and the glass box will hold small office supplies or maybe business cards…

These 3 books were written by 2 very special blog friends – Toni of A Bowl Full of Lemons and Becky of Clean Mama. They each have been an inspiration to me in my blogging journey and give me hope that I too one day can have a book (or more) of my very own!…

I shared my new rug yesterday – so in love with the shape, pattern and texture…

Excited to see this side of the office completed. Hard to believe where it all started – ha!…
Well, in all honesty…this is really where it started…
Yikes!
No rear view mirror thoughts, Sam…it’s full speed ahead. With a beautiful view…
