<br />
Well, it was nice but a little cluttered (and visable from my living room and dining room) and didn't quite flow with the rest of my house. My biggest hate of the room was the pink tile. The walls were pink when we moved in too but that was the first room I painted. <br />
<br />
I finally saved up enough pennies to buy the tile to match the rest of our house and that sparked my motivation to make this room up to par with the rest of our home.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Without further rambling: </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
This is the "work" side of the room. For a reminder here is the old cluttered look with lots of unmatched and too open storage:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXUjJwSwW8FXAVDflplMftIam5auuiYZuo-io1GXreWfY9HFAkHPsLqxkIIixdNG4PqQAXfOlPsNSk432iFfZgfiu8RGOifYBfNK7A7uNGi_VF1jLnlYRLTFZJCs4mwj33zOdJqzYAT_sU/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXUjJwSwW8FXAVDflplMftIam5auuiYZuo-io1GXreWfY9HFAkHPsLqxkIIixdNG4PqQAXfOlPsNSk432iFfZgfiu8RGOifYBfNK7A7uNGi_VF1jLnlYRLTFZJCs4mwj33zOdJqzYAT_sU/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Now I have lovely matching cabinets. Insider secret, if you stalk Lowes clearance section you can find cabinets for $10-$20 each, marked down from regular prices of $140-$180. There are always some there, it's just a matter of waiting patiently for the color and sizes you want. Another secret for paper people, a 18" cabinet is perfect for holding the sterlite paper storage you see in the above photo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDffJaCYPZMPWE63G4lYT5HwcvphPu89b3uSv_XjacXmkMuStBCNpdFBoMpIUIP925L2pxETMu7kZYW0uerOxsLkzw__9uawXb6TPfaOHkGFu3Xq2uzg0nVqf3r8uKEn7o32cQtoneXQUJ/s1600/2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDffJaCYPZMPWE63G4lYT5HwcvphPu89b3uSv_XjacXmkMuStBCNpdFBoMpIUIP925L2pxETMu7kZYW0uerOxsLkzw__9uawXb6TPfaOHkGFu3Xq2uzg0nVqf3r8uKEn7o32cQtoneXQUJ/s640/2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">One thing you may be surprised about is the lack of "nice" leather desk chairs. My back hated those and for the amount of time I spend sitting there my eyes can handle looking at a task chair instead of pretty (but uncomforatable) chairs.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Next we move onto the "comfy" side of the room. Here is the photo of the last before view. Again, to much open cluttered storage.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's not horrible but I think it would match the rest of the room better in a darker tone. <br />

I've made the commitment to myself today to start back up on a fairly regular basis :). Thanks to everyone who remained a "follower" to a lifeless for months blog. <br />

I'll be starting short and simple today. Showing off one of my latest and possible all time favorite treasury.<br />

Next, this little wreath looks hard, but it actually seems to be pretty easy as well, just more steps to take<br />

Onto the topiary. I realized this is probably pretty easy, but I made ornament trees last year and there where a bit of a pain. I LOVE the finished product, but I doubt I will make more. I wonder if the ball will be easier than the tree though.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And again, VERY easy, but going to require ALOT of patience. I bet a little forest of these on your dining room table would look fab!<br />
