Temporary Office

One of my two work desks arrived, this one is lovely and is solid wood in white with two drawers. I love it! Instead of setting it up in the massive work room in the front of the house, where there is currently nothing, I decided to set up a makeshift work area in the back of the house, near my husband's office, in our spare bedroom. We had nothing in the room anyway, so why not move in there and that way I can have a space to work until I can get my work area in the front of the house fully furnished.



I'm so happy I made this decision! I just moved in about an hour ago, so what you see here is very thrown together but you get the picture at least of where I will now work until the big room is ready. I love my new desk, and the great cabinet from IKEA that is now discontinued in Germany (thank you Thorsten for putting it together, he said it was horrible to build!). I love the curbside find that I grabbed last month in the List -- found in the trash -- the cute wood school chair with the yellow base. You don't see a chair in front of my desk because I am waiting for the delivery guy to bring it any moment now, it's a Vitra chair from Connex (this one).

Please excuse the black cord chaos! We are going to do something about that as soon as possible but this office is only 1 hour old so I have to figure out how to conceal them. I also need to hang a mood board, install an overhead light, and put a few shelves on the wall. I want to show you my Swedish bench tomorrow, it's on the other wall in this room and will be where my books will go for now, in stacks.

I am very happy with my new office!
