Hey y’all…as promised, today I’m going to share another “new” area in the house…my new desk space. Some parts of downsizing have been a tad bit challenging. In our previous home we were fortunate to have two designated office and desk spaces. I need a space for client meetings and blogging. Being that this home is much smaller I needed to be creative as to where I could put a desk. Admittedly there was some trial and error…furniture was too big, space not large enough and one spot was way too dark. After a lot of measuring of walls and furniture, I finally figured out the perfect spot where I could eek out enough space for a desk without feeling crowded or stifled. It turns out that this little wall behind the french doors in the sunroom is the perfect spot!
I painted this table about 9 years ago and it used to grace the front door entryway. I couldn’t believe it when it nestled perfectly between the window and the french door.
I brought out my favorite collections and pieces and began decorating.
Do you remember this chair and pillow? I was thrilled that they work perfectly with the desk and in the sunroom.
The table isn’t as wide as a standard desk but it is definitely large enough to display a lot of my faves…feathers, antique inkwells and artwork.
It was easy to create this typography art by printing on a vintage book page. You can read how do to it right HERE.
This is one of my favorite inkwells…it’s called a tipper 🙂
I showed you in yesterday’s post how to create this super easy and inexpensive memo board. I love to look up and see vintage family photos and this inspiration fabric. I know it will get a lot of use as I add article clippings, other photos and ideas.
I was so excited to find this typography art with one of my favorite quotes. When I look up from my computer it is the first thing I see – such a great reminder as I pursue what I love!
This barn-wood frame and photo are my absolute faves. The picture is a sweet capture of my parents when my mother was expecting me – her first born. How perfect is this crown?
The vintage German allspice canister is perfect to hold pens.
Architectural salvage pieces are another decor favorite – especially when they look like this!
This Bee Happy art is actually a $2.00 notecard that I placed in a Dollar Tree frame.
It’s important to have business cards on hand for our clients.
My hydrangea plants are still going strong. I am grateful for their beautiful bounty!
Just so you know…this is what the space originally looked like.
I don’t mean to brag, but I’m pretty impressed with the transformation!
It feels so good to have this space complete. I love all of the light that comes in through the windows…and I occasionally see precious deer when I peek outside. It’s a great spot to create, dream and gain inspiration!
Until tomorrow…

Such a beautiful space, and it’s so you! Bambi
A very sweet space, what color is on the wall❣❣
Holy cow that doesn’t even look like the same space! Great job on this transformation. It’s totally you! Love! Hugs, CoCo
I’m impressed too! The piece of furniture is so pretty to begin with. I Love the way you styled it and the blue wall is a beautiful backdrop to everything. Pinning. 🙂
Are y’all going to Haven? Would love to meet if you are.
Lovely!!!!
