At home in my office

My office is messy,

my office is junky,

my office is cluttered ---

but
my office is mine.

Chicken coop cubbies from my friend, Sena --- now a bookcase.

It's not a room of beauty.
Nothing matches.
But it is a room filled with things
that I collect,

that I love,
that were mine
when I was little.

Vintage "Continuous Calendar"..... odd but graphic.

Gumby and Mr. Bill. I'd like you to meet PeeWee Herman!

You'll find things that inspire me,

things I am working on

and things that may or not

be on their way to the antique shop.

Old canvas London bus destination blind with route numbers.

I really had to clean up this room

to even consider bringing

in my camera.

Oh my.... lots of piles (now hiding on the floor.)

Vintage egg drying rack hangs above the chicken nesting bin.

Old horse show ribbons on the egg drying rack.

There is a lot to look at,

I know, too much,

but I am comfortable here

and my goofy "stuff" makes me smile!

My dad carved this little airplane in the 1940's.

Framed the old watercolor sets in a shadow box.

Old galvanized milk delivery box with graphics on lid.

 Note to Self: 
- change the paint color soon

(it came with the house)

- find new window panels

(current panels were "temporary" -- now 8 years old!)

Funny how that works.

Vintage time card slot holder.

Vintage employee time in and time out chart for receptionist.

So here it is .... organized chaos .... my space.

This was my mom's carnival spin paint card from when she was a girl!

There's no theme here.

No rhyme or reason to the madness.

I collected butterflies and moths when I was little.

Love old London bus blinds like the small one shown here.

These old locker baskets keep me organized.

They sit on a cider press bench that my mom gave me.

My desk is a pine kitchen table....from the first year that there was a Pottery Barn c. 1986.

One of the only things I have of my dad's father is this toolbox that he made.

Vintage tin barns like the ones I played with as a child on our farm. :)






What kinds of things
are in your office or workspace?



My very first BFF.
