Picture pages Picture pages…
We spent a lot of time in our offices. I don’t know about you but I have not ever spent a lot of time thinking about Decorating my office. (Decorating as opposed to decorating. decorating is what you do when you do nothing, you just live in it.) Some of that may be a function of the space itself. When starting a job I was always moving into someone else’s space. I would often inherit “art” (if you can call it that), old binders, dead folders, and other crap. The first week of my current job I went through the desk organizer thingys in the office and I found someone’s fingernail clippings (ew!)!! Now how can you get through that kind of energy?!
A few weeks after I started my current job I moved into a freshly renovated office. It was all new, all clean, and not tainted with any fingernail clipping. I have a window with an awful view but some diffused light. I have lots of shelves and some space to hang things. I have spent a bit of time working through all of the organizational type things but have not really focused on any of the aesthetics of the space.
Wanna see what it looks like?
This is the view from the corner of the room. I’m standing in my doorway, the door is closed because my co-workers already think I am 6 shades of crazy. Taking pictures of my office? Par for the course.
If you click on the picture you can go to flickr and see all of the fun notes that I have added.
The Calender you see there was made by Maryse. She gave it to the BOS girls for Christmas and I love it madly. For each of our Birthdays she put a little picture of us. I love Maryse’s photos and I look forward to flipping the calender each month. (M – you better do another one for next year!) (ps-she sells her photos as cards here.)
For the walls I’m thinking of one or two of these prints from Right Brain Terrain. Aren’t they fabulous? I like Shine, Integrity, Focus, and Create.
Or perhaps a Wallhog? A big basket of yarn? Sophia’s cute mug? Brad Pitt with his shirt off? What? Not professional enough? Damn.
I am the fortunate recipient of Sophia’s first ever finger painting. A mother’s day gift. That will likely make it’s way to some portion of the wall.
Any other suggestions? I am really into illustrators and itty bitty artists right now. I have an etsy seller that I adore (which I will share soon) but I have a few of her prints and would love to branch out a bit. We*heart*prints has some unbelievable art. I’m enjoying some prints on Little Paper Planes. I am loving Chris Applehans stuff, featured here.
As for fabric for the bulletin boards? Well, I haven’t even started on that path yet. I loooove some of the fabrics out there. I wish I could just steal Sophia’s Kay Quilt and put it on my wall. Feel free to point me in the direction of cool bulletin board worthy fabric.
