Office Space

I have fond memories of coming home from school looking for my mom to tell her about my day.  If she wasn't in the obvious places, kitchen or family room,  she was surely in her own office space.

My dad and mom transformed the laundry room into a working space for my mom.  When it comes to painting my mother has the real talent in the family.  This is where I would go to talk to my mom about all that happened during my day.  The laundry room was fairly big and she would be painting at her counter space while I would sit on the washer or dryer with my other sisters as we fought to out speak each other to tell her about our day.  This was her space, her escape, her place of creativity.

I am in the process of creating such space.  I currently do a lot of my painting on the dining room table.  It works great for the time being but I would like to have a permanent place for all my items and wooden dolls waiting to be painted.  It was time to turn our living room into an office so that I could have such a place.

Creating a new space can come with a cost so I am try to do so at a very minimal budget.  Re-purposing currently pieces and recreating a desk to work for the space that I have.  My hope is to have a place that promotes creativity with the ability to have all my stuff at my hands.  I will post a before and after picture once available.
