Whimsical\"I\"\"<\/p>\n

I spend a lot<\/em> of time in my home office. When we moved into this, our first purchased home<\/a>, I quickly commandeered the room that had built in bookshelves and cupboards for my office. I created a “secret” board on Pinterest title My Office and during the next year or so\u00a0 I gathered home office ideas I liked and stuck them in there. I really needed the room to be off the charts special… or maybe unique would be a better word. It had to be a place that was a joy for me to walk into and one that didn’t cost me a fortune to create.<\/p>\n

Finally, in January 2016, I had a general idea of what I wanted and month after month I’d do a post on something I did to my room… replacing the floor, organizing, building the wall desk etc. My daughter Jennifer helped quite a bit with the decorating. I just took it slow and easy and the finishing touch was done in July 2017. So it was a year and a half in the making. But I ended up with exactly what a wanted. A fun, whimsical room that makes me smile every time I walk into it.<\/p>\n
