Mission Accomplished

 

After several months, my office is up and running and I just love it! It was a tremendous task to take  everything out of a working office without missing a beat.

 

Don't be too shocked by the "before" photos. You can clearly understand why I was finding it so difficult to work in such a space. You will not believe the transformation! So here we go -

I am definately not a hoarder, in fact quite the opposite. Trying to run a business and operate a studio in a room with all sorts of different types of furniture, various filing cabinets and lack of storage was becoming increasingly difficult. My bookcases filled one wall and with a large stationery cupboard opposite, the room was closing in on me. Each year I was accumulalting more work, more books and just more of everything with nowhere to put them.

 

So out it call came.

It was all moved into the dining room and lounge room, where I worked quite happily, in the hub of the house.

 

 

 

 And in went the new office.

 

 

And here it is!!! 

 

 

 

 



I have a huge stationery cupboard, room for my books, large plan draws for my large sheets of watercolour paper and many drawers and built-in filing cabinets.

 

In case you are wondering how a wall full of books fitted into my new bookcase above the desk - they didn't. I also had a floor to ceiling bookcase built in the main bedroom, where the overflow of books went. Basically all the books in my office are now my art books.

 

It is such a joy to come in here each morning and have everything in its place......
