I know I promised more photos of our new place after this post. Well I've finally gotten around to taking some. First up, my office. Here's what it looked like when we first got the keys:
Since then we've painted the walls (it was too dark and depressing before!) and moved in my desk, etc., so here's the progress so far:As you can see, there's still a lot left to do. I love how desks look centered in the room, but the cords in the middle of the floor are definitely a hazard so I have to find a solution for that or move the desk against the wall. On the main wall I'm planning to have an Expedit shelving unit (placed horizontally) and a gallery wall with framed artwork, photos and maybe a mirror. I might move the storage units that are currently on the side wall (with the window) into the closet, depending likely on whether or not I end up moving the desk. The current rug is too small (it's the one I used to have in the closet at my old place) so I'm looking for a replacement - something that will be big enough to cover more of the not-so-pretty carpeting. We shall see! I'll post more pictures as I make more changes :)
