I previously posted on the blog about my new office and if you follow me on twitter, you’ve heard my rants over the past few weeks as I went through the transformation from kids playroom, to office. I did a post w/this photo a few weeks ago HERE when I first moved in my desk. Brett was thinking I could just work in there while keeping it a playroom. (Haaaa…that’s funny. No thanks.)

Then we began by choosing paint colors….the simple task that seems to bring me nearer to insanity each time I have to do it. I mean, I spend my life working on colors as an artist- you’d think it wouldn’t be so tough.
After having 4 color samples on the walls from orange to forest green I decided on gray, and I completely LOVE it. It’s so minimal, and reminds me of a blank canvas for my creative side.
You may remember the post HERE about my little man who was “helping” me paint. ![]()

So I went to Ikea and got the curtains, storage unit, and rug….but the chair I wanted was out of stock. I came home disappointed and decided to temporarily bring up my purple chair that was in the basement. I LOVED it there. I was so inspired by the purple next to the gray, so….I painted the ceiling purple. Bye bye sunshine and clouds!

Now I need help!!! I need a overhead light/chandelier of some sort. Any suggestions?? Also, what to put on the walls?!? Anyone want to share some ideas, links, photos? Purdy please?
I’m thinking a canvas here….

But here maybe something different. A calendar? Organizer? Look at these sad bare walls. They need some love.

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
