My office is really just an extension of our living room. Which is exactly what I wanted b/c I can sit here and work and still be super close to James while he is on the computer or playing a game. It makes feel much more at home to have my primary work spot in the open and not tucked away in a back room.

I love that I have enough space to hang my big painting. And I have my record player set up right in front of the office so my music is close. And I get to look at my amazing macrame owl while I work now! I put out my three favorite albums on display... Neil Young, The Rolling Stones & Janis Joplin. They are my three favorite vinyls to look at, not my top three favorite records, although they are up there :)

I think the wall in my office with the collage of artwork is my favorite wall in the house. It makes my heart so happy. There are some super special pieces, among some of my wood blocks, a friends photo, my mom's wooden sun, dried roses, a feather and a piece of drift wood.

And my quick fix to cover up the back of the ugly desk was fabric and doilies. Im sure this will change over time constantly.

PEACE,

I finally prettied up my jewelry space in the bedroom. You may remember how I had it in my last house. I knew I still wanted to use this old wooden piece that came out of a piano. I took off the backing I had on it before to make it more simple and earthy. I also used an old shutter that I reclaimed from my parents house. My dad had them in the burn pile and I snagged them up. I remember them being on the house since I was little and new they had some life in them still. I also used some of my mom's special antique bowls to keep my headbands and things in. Since I have so much jewelry, I decided just to hang up my favorite and most special pieces. I originally wanted to hang up my vintage purse collection, but Im not sure Ill have the room. I may have to squeeze some on another wall.

This amazing vintage dresser was in my mom's bedroom. She loved this piece, and I am so honored to now have it in my own bedroom. And Ive had so much fun adding my square photo wood squares all over the house! They add such a nice little touch.

So as you can see, you dont need alot 'jewelry' hangers to keep your pretties. You can use so many different found objects, bowls or anything to create a special place for your favorite things.
