If I have ever given you the impression that I have it all together, then I am truly sorry! Â That is a very false impression! Â My close friends and family, know the truth.
Today this is what my office looks like (or as Scott calls it, “junk room”) Â And in full disclosure, this is pretty clean. Â I know, yiKes!
I have been “working” on this room for probably over a year now. Â I haven’t had a lot of time to spend on it, but the past few weeks I have made some progress.
I have been taking my time to organize everything into categories and find places where I will know exactly what I have.  This space needs to function as an office, craft room, inventory storage, and studio.  It is a pretty large room, so that has been one of my struggles…layout.  I need this room to function for so many purposes, and now  I need it done A.S.A.P.  My busy season is coming up and I need to be able to work in here!  It is taking FOREVER but I’m FINALLY feeling like I’m making significant progress.
 My milk glass collection was taking up so space, so I added a shelf above the door that extends the length of the room.  It gets all of it in one place so I can see what I have and it looks more like a display than a storage solution! 🙂
 Don’t get me wrong, there are some really organized areas but there are also still some disasters!  My desk is going to take a while!
 I have also been working on a few projects for this room.  Scott walked in the other day and said, “YOU ARE DECORATING!”  Well, I thought he would expect it by now!  Doesn’t he know a space to need to be functional AND pretty!?!
Can you tell what this last picture is? It’s a piece I got off of Craigslist, and I can’t wait to show you how it turned out! Â You’ll have to be patient because the whole room needs to be finished first. 😉
Happy Monday, friends!

Who cares if it’s a mess – I can’t take my eyes off those cool fans and crates and milk glass and door! Can’t wait to see it in all it’s glory!

I’m so glad you’re human! Thanks for sharing really 🙂
I always thought if room you craft in is a mess you’re making great progress getting things done. Aw shucks. Now that means I have to clean up more? Darn.
Your room looks pretty darned good compared to mine, my room is quite small.
I too am coveting your milk glass and all great organization you’ve accomplished. Seems like if I “organize” I work on lots of projects and it’s a mess again. I have several iris carts to help keep many things in order and to take advantage of the vertical real estate. Hubs also built shelves anywhere he could put them to take better advantage of what room I do have, even the closet. My pc and desk are also in here. Wish I had a big room but I’d just fill it up more.
Happy Days
Love the milk glass, fans, crates!!!
Can’t wait to see your Craigslist find!
Seeing the before pic of your stash makes me feel a little bit better about mine.
You have some totally awesome stuff! And it’s nice to see a little reality on another blog! I’ve shared my sewing room before when it is a total chaotic mess! And it rarely stays cleaned up for long!
Angela! Be glad it’s just your office. I moved a couple weeks ago and my whole house looks like that. 😉
Well, at times my whole house looks like this too…and I didn’t just move! 🙂
Great progress! And you should definitely show in between before and after photos, it’s what tells us your story 🙂
Thanks, Jessica. I FINALLY finished it, so I will have a post ready for next week with all the pretty pictures! 😉
An office update is not a big deal. It’s just a small change or addition to an existing office, usually involving new furniture, decor, or equipment. Sometimes, an office update can also refer to changes in the way the office is organized or managed.

The recent office update has landed with a whimper, not a bang, offering only minor changes that leave employees underwhelmed and eager for more substantial improvements. It’s a missed opportunity to truly revitalize the workspace.
