Ok, I am so excited because I'm finally seeing the end in sight for our little craft/exercise room! It's been so cluttered and junked up for too long and I've slowly been chipping away at it. For two years.
Last year I worked on reducing the amount of stuff I had. There are still a few things I'm holding onto that I probably shouldn't have but I have a whole lot less than I did! Even after that, I'm still having a storage issue. That has been the main hindrance to making this room organized and functional.
I've figured out a furniture layout that I think will work. I'd love to have a small table to work at in this room but, unless I find a great deal at a thrift store this year, the table will have to wait. So right now I'm focusing on creating that storage I need that's functional but looks nice too. I'm planning on hanging shelves on one wall and I wanted to get the painting out of the way before doing that.
Usually it takes me forever to decide on a paint color but this time it took me one day. I'm usually up nights thinking about colors for weeks and asking Hubby's opinion every two seconds on three shades of gray-white that he can't tell the difference between. Not this time. I'm so proud of myself.

An Office Gallery Wall
This year I've slowly been working on organizing and decorating our little office space. It's always been the downstairs dumping ground but I wanted to change that, especially since both Hubby and I use it as a creative space. It can also be seen from the living room with no door to close it off. I think the room is technically supposed to be the dining room but the internet hook up is in there and we have our table in the kitchen.
It's coming along slowly, mainly because I'm terrible at organizing papers. Give me something I can decorate with and I can organize it. Random papers, not so much. Hubby and I are working on that part together.
For the longest time, we had a big, blank, white wall above the desk. Big white walls can be the equivalent of a white piece of paper that you have to write on for homework. It's a love/hate relationship. All that potential just waiting to happen, yet not knowing exactly where to start or where you want to end up. I finally decided to try a gallery wall.
Over the summer, I have been picking up cheap art at various thrift stores around town. Mostly blue and ocean themed. I didn't really intend for that to be, it's just what I was drawn to. After the first few pieces, I knew I wanted an ocean themed gallery wall somewhere in our house. So I tried the office.
