My New Desk Area

Filed Under: Giveaways Tagged With: sponsor spotlight, sponsored

I am finally able to share my new desk area with you all. I had been putting it off because I wasn’t quite done. I feel like it is done enough for now. I plan to change the heart out after Valentine’s Day with something for the next holiday. I also can change out the Happy Day printable for something new and I can always move things around. This little corner makes me happy.

My New Desk Area

I bought the roll-top desk used from a local shop. I have always wanted one so I was happy to find this one.

I love this sign I found at Burke’s Outlet. I also found the birdhouse, bird frame, and owl there.
My New Desk Area

The Camera Hoop Art was custom made for me by Alyson at Vintage Sunshine. She made it just like the camera I drew. It is perfect and soooo adorable.

My New Desk Area

She also makes state hoops which are a really neat idea. I also bought one of her coffee cuffs that I am in love with. She even has beautiful paintings, she is so crafty!

You can find Alyson on her blog, at her shop, on facebook, twitter, instagram and pinterest.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
