Last month Hannah asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day. I happened to be sitting in the middle of my totally trashed office and I looked around me and whined that I would LOOOOOOOVE a clean office. Oh the joys of having a daughter! Hannah hired a lady from church who does organizational consulting to give me five hours of time to clean out, sort and organize. Super Organizer Woman (oh that would be SOW as an acronym, I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate that!) came over and suggested that since I had to take everything out to sort through it, I might want to repaint my office. And if I was going to repaint, I might want to install more shelving and add a longer, more useful desk area, and put in a wrapping paper station and...VOILA! Another version of "If you give a mouse a cookie" is born! I snapped some pictures with my phone camera (not nearly the quality of cuteness and clarity I would prefer, but I wanted pictures NOW!) and here they are for all to enjoy.
Just a reminder of what my office used to look like from this post: My Life is Now a Crime Scene
(Futon, old brown desk we've had since we got married 20 years ago, lots of messes, etc..)
Now, it looks like this:
Big wall of shelves -- I mean...CUTE shelves: check!
Bigger desk area (Ikea tables which were $5.99 each!) and more cute shelves and stuff: check!
Wrapping paper station in the closet: check!
Oh how this space is bringing me joy! I almost don't want to put anything on all those shelves, but I guess there must be some function with the form huh? I'll post more pics when it's complete.

Yay for you! I dream of having a wrapping paper station someday. I am so happy for you.
I know it's wrong to covet my neighbor's wife, but is it wrong to covet my neighbor's office??? What a wonderful space! Enjoy :-)
