Remember this last night in my old home office? Well, as I sit and type these words, I am now cozily ensconced -- as only a closet can cozily ensconce you -- in my new one. It’s much smaller with a tiny fraction of storage compared to my old office…my old office being an actual room and this being a former closet. Be that as it may, I am beginning to love my new space一个人.
We knocked down the innards for two facing cabinets and built two facing desks in its place, with shelving above. It is still at its infancy, so much organization and some purposeful beautifying is in order, but I can see the potential. Already I feel at home here. My work desk is on one side, with my work laptop sitting at the ready, the printer on the shelf above. My personal laptop is on the other desk, cookbooks slowly being transferred to the shelf above, along with my trusty camera. My swivel chair sits jauntily in between. When I look to one side I can see myself working in the full-length mirror that we decided not to remove. I give myself a little rah-rah grin and get back to work blog.
Though still surrounded by things that have yet to find their official places, I feel energized and inspired by this new space. Maybe because I knew, at heart, that the old space was always a shared space…and this new one is, not to put too fine a point on it, all mine In this world

So it’s off to pinterest I go for ideas and inspiration 風鈴·風語
