It’s Official!
I’m all moved into my office now. It was only 3.5 years in the making with getting me down here. It was getting to the point that I was going to either hollow out my formal living room’s sofa for book storage or pester my husband to get the extra bedroom in the lower level (the one he’d claimed for himself when me moved in… you know… a place where he could do all his computer stuff, hang out… chick free zone.. oh, and the place he used to try to pile things a mile high just because he knew I wouldn’t go in there) cleaned out. After dejunking the room and hauling almost everything he had in there to the dump, we tore the carpet out and had new laid, we also painted the walls and purchased some additional book cases for me for down there. Ahh… I’m finally all moved in and I love it! Its not much but I’m DAMN happy to have my own space.
Here is my desk area (that shut door is a half bath that was NEVER used until I moved down here… then all of the sudden… all of the Roth boys are running in to use it. OY) Yes, that’s a light up skull on my desk. Thanks Debbie for it!
This is a picture of the wall to the right of my desk area. It houses some of my ref book collection. They’re shelved according to genre. Those two wooden TV trays you see are used when I have a really big project going on and need more surface space to set ref books on. I move them up and put them next to me so I can lean over and read from the ref book while I work. They then fold down and move away to give me more space.
This one shows the back wall. This houses more ref books and also some of my files. The roll top desk makes a nice area to put all my office supply things that would normally clutter up my main desk area. Plus, it holds the fan. With all these books surrounding me, it can get pretty damn hot in here without something moving the air around, regardless if the central air is on or not. Also, see the skull pirate thing mounted to the wall. Big thanks to Dobby for snagging that for me!!!! Before anyone asks, yes.. that is a stuffed witch doll with a raven on her lap to the right, sitting on the edge of that shelf. Isn’t she cute!!!!
Finally, this is the area that is to the left of my desk. Its sandwiched between that half bath and the closest (which plays home to my filing cabinets and promo materials). This cut out space kind of odd shaped, being about four and half feet wide and about for feet deep. I thought about having my husband custom build some shelves there for me, nice deep ones. He still might but in the meantime, I decided to make it a reading corner. Somewhere just for me when I want to have some quiet time and catch up on my TBR pile.
That’s it… I was just excited and wanted to share!
