My Own Home Office: In Need of a Makeover?

Yesterday I blogged about home office spaces and what inspires. I need a space that inspires. Since I spend a lot of time writing in there, I thought I’d go ahead and share my current space, despite the fact that I’d love to do a makeover in this room. While the desk is functional, I don’t like the color or its lack of femininity. I’d like to go with something lighter (or whiter). I do love my chandelier and clock in the room. My friend, Jenny, gave me the READ sign. The walls are a light blue, and the curtains are pink, with the addition of the pink light lamp from Pottery Barn. The rocking chair was my late grandmother’s.

I do have white bookshelves, though they are nothing special. They are from Ikea from years ago.

I typically enjoy being in my office when it’s neat and tidy like it is here in the photographs. As you can see, I also have an Orioles Cooperstown Bear that I treasure, a gift from Mrs. Angelos, owner of the Orioles, from my days when I worked there. My National University diploma for my MFA hangs on the wall. I’m pretty proud of that particular artwork.
