House Re-Vision Updates

 

Throughout this year, I’ve been slowly re-seeing rooms and spaces in our home, to see if I can make them function better for us without redoing everything.

            This month I focused on our home office. As you know (if you’ve been reading for a while) we’ve re-seen this room in a pretty major way already since moving in here a year and a half ago. It started out as a guest room that had a side hustle as office overflow. But over time, I saw our bigger need was for this room to function more like office space and less like a guest room. So last December we made that change, and it has been working splendidly.

            I just wanted to put a few finishing touches on things, so I worked to do that this month, and I’m really happy with the outcome.

            I started by going through my books and purging a few that needed to go. I reorganized my color-coded section so it looked cleaner, and I moved our scrapbooks in here. I feel good about how the shelf looks now. It’ll be ever-changing as I grow my book collection, ad photo albums, and update photos, but I love how it looks and works. (And I’m so glad I spent time earlier this year updating my three-ring binders so they all match!

            I didn’t do too much to this area. Our poor little peace lily may not make it, but we’re still trying to save the last bit of it.

            I changed up this bookshelf to hold all my Bibles. I love having them over here, closer to my desk, for easy reference.

            My desk and inspiration boards (which are full!) underwent a proper straightening, but not much change. I have a couple of big pictures leaning up against the desk. Not sure where I want to hang them yet – or if I want to hang them at all – so they sit there while I think.

            And Ryan hung my college diploma and a couple of special notes that I’d framed. I want to add more things to this wall over time, but for now, I like how this looks. This is our former kitchen island that now lives in here and provides extra storage and project space for me!

            I love how it looks. It’s a win!
