A little while ago now, I started a series of home decorating\/organizing projects to use our space more effectively. It involved building the wall-mounted bookshelves and moving the toys out of our living room, remember<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Well I changed around our “office space” too and promised I’d let you see the finished product. That project sat a little more on the back burner and I finally finished it earlier this week. So….. drum roll please…..<\/p>\n

Our new office space has everything in it there was before (ta da!!!) hehe. PLUS all our “please ask Mommy” homeschooling supplies.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

In order to avoid tempting disobedience, I went to the thrift store and purchased two sheer-ish curtains. I wanted them to be sheer-ISH because even the wonderful organization in clear tubs, etc behind them can begin to look messy with all it’s business.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

So with these cute little curtains cut, reinforced at the top and stapled onto my bookshelves, it helps with the “no touchy, please” hint, keeps with our black\/white “office” furniture theme, and makes it look not quite as cluttered. I also added a panel of sheer curtain to the underside of the desk to follow-suit and really section off the space.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

And again, for my non-reading crowd, I added my stop signs as a reminder that while I don’t mind them standing around in this space, curious hands need to stay in pockets.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

The girls have been very good and respectful of the privacy of the space\/items in the space as well as their happy little welcome selves in sharing in electronic fun with me.<\/p>\n

To give you a general feel for how “the office” falls in the layout of the room, here’s a pic to help.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

I like how open the “office” remains despite the fact that I turned the desk to cut the room up a bit. And now I have this gorgeous sliding glass window to gaze out while blogging [Sorry in advance for the spacey posts. \ud83d\ude09 ].<\/p>\n

It’s not ridiculously impressive, but I’m happy with the space changes and I like that it allows for function, some cuteness, and still being a part of family life while getting a few “officey” things done.<\/p>\n

Thus closes the chapter on the living room\/fireside room flip.<\/p>\n
