Well, today I woke up with a roaring head cold which I'm sad to say has not in the least bit improved as the day has progressed, so no work for me today, and possibly tomorrow too. To amuse myself I have begun my planning of a fairly significant project I've set for myself.
You see, as much as I love my office, I got very upset the other night because I am not 100% happy with it. I feel like it's a mish mash of different bits and pieces of furniture that aren't at all themed or related. I don't feel good in that room anymore. So, it's time for a change :) And to begin this monumental change, I had to decide on a colour scheme. So I decided on a clean crisp white with purple for a bit of a hint of colour :) Then I began looking for pieces that would fit in with my new colour scheme, and immediately started work on a purple and white pom pom rug :) The rug hasnt really begun other than I've purchased the tapestry backing that will form the base of the rug, and I've made a few pom poms, and I'm now sewing a trim on the edges of the base. I'm not even sure it will work, I will have spent a small fortune making the thing AND I'll probably be making pom pom's til I'm 90 to get it done, but I figure since I will be off work for several weeks thanks to my ankle I'll have plenty of time to pom pom away!!!!!
So, on to the rest of the room - I'm imagining floating shelves, a built in wardrobe that is filled with stationary and scrapbooking in perfect purple and white boxes, a sleek white desk with nothing on it other than my laptop, a pretty pencil cup with purple pens and pencils, and a small crystal vase with purple fake flowers :) Then I'm seeing my armchair, decked out in a white cover with purple cushions and a standing lamp looking on. In front of the armchair I see a small white footstool and in the middle of the room a white coffee table with my bible on it and a scented candle. On the wall several pictures and a home made purple and white pin board.
The thought is beautiful - and I've already found some of the items I will need.
So here's my desk :) Isn't it beautiful :)
And a couple of inspirational pictures I found.....
Now, I admit I am in no way schooled up in the art of home renovations, and this whole thing may take an awfully long time for me to afford, but I already feel good about it. It's my little project, and while my head cold, aching sinuses, crackling ears and runny nose continues to make me feel little more than wretched, I am excited about the idea of shaping a room exactly the way I want to. Oh and did I mention I'm going to paint my narrow bookcase white too? So much to do!!!!
Until next time....
