Welcome to my office. I work from home. Beyond this blog, I own an event management company, US Trisports. We produce triathlons. I love my jobs: mom and business owner. This is where the magic happens...
- Central Location: My office is in the front room, completely open to the rest of the house. My kids are always welcome to come climb on my chair with me. I also sit right in front of the window so I can see my kids walking to and from their friend's houses or playing in the yard. Beyond the banister is their basement playroom and from here I can hear every word.
- Color you LOVE: I recently re-painted these walls (all by my lonesome) because I wasn't loving spending time in the color they used to be. Now I feel so serene and beachy in my blue-gray office.
- Practical Storage Solutions: I used to have my printer out for all to see. I feel like sticking it in the cupboard makes me love this room so much more!
- Cute Storage Solutions: I can't say enough about storage. I am not nearly as organized as I look. Those big, white storage boxes (IKEA) are a life saver. I throw anything I need but don't want to be seen in there, and they look tidy and cute.
- Things that Inspire: My work requires some inspiration and motivation, as does everyone's. I fill my office with things that I love and that remind me of the people I love.
- Photos of beloved Grandparents
- Mason jars, love 'em
- A vintage photo book of Hawaii
- My all-time favorite photo of my husband and me from when we were dating
- A big piece of glass I picked up while visiting my sister in Southern Utah
- My Mac. Can't help it, I love you, Mac!
- A print of a painting by my oldest brother. Isn't he amazing?
- Milk glass glass given to me by my thrift-shopping diva Aunt Pamela

I wish I was brave enough to pick a color for my office & paint it! I love the color you have. I was thinking of an avocado green for mine :) I need a homemake over when are you going to come help? And where is the money tree?
Thanks for the inspiration! I really need to make my office a haven...it has slowly been unravelling and now is anything but a haven.
By the way, your brother's paintings are AMAZING! Wow what a talent!! Did he love drawing and painting from a young age?
thanks! Glad you guys like it! As far as my brother: my mom was an artist and that's what we did for fun as kids. My two oldest brothers are now professional, successful artists. Best,
Aly
Excellent wall color, my office is a similar tone but a little more gray. You did a wonderful job.
The wall color is Myth Gray by Kwal Howell. I saved a buck and had them match it at Lowes.
The wall color is just great!
What IS that wall color? I am in love ! It's the perfect deep shade of blue. What a wonderful space to connect with the rest of the world, and how perfect to surround yourself with things that inspire! Thanks for sharing your space and linking up today!

I love the wall color, you must love having such a great space to blog and wow, storage all to yourself!
The wall color is fabulous. I love IKEA, it's where most of the furniture in my blog/craft space is from too. This is a lovely spot!
Great organization! I love the idea of a table instead of a desk. The wall color you chose is very serene! Lovely spot!
Stopped by from the party~
Great space!
Like everyone else I'm in L-O-V-E with the wall color!!!

All the best,
Kathy :)
