My home office has been in a second floor walk-through landing space for years. Let me explain. Our home is over 120 years old. The original house had two second story bedrooms. Over the years there have been several additions. The smaller room was opened up for access to new bedrooms. Thus the landing status.
The space is really charming (although small) with the slanted ceilings and old wood floor. There is even a window overlooking the backyard.
Tom designed a built-in shelving unit for a fish tank and books. When that hobby ran its course, I purchased a desk to fit the space and moved my computer and design books in.
The built-in shelves keep my reference books handy and offer storage below.
I’ve really out grown the space. Patrick’s old bedroom has started to become a catch-all, so I decided to take the plunge and crave out a home office that suits my needs. I’m very excited to have room to spread out projects, set up a photo studio, get creative and keep the mess behind closed doors when I’m too busy to tidy up.
The antique carved bed will move to a guest room.
Tom built book shelves in this bedroom too. The window seat still needs a cover.
Red, white and blue was the theme for this bedroom when we first decorated it. Old plaster was camoflaged with navy sponge paint and stenciled stars.
I'm not the only designer who hates ceiling fans! Wait until you see what I'm replacing it with!
Cord control will be a priority when I move my computer into the new space. What a mess!
