Since nobody ever used it anyway, I moved my desk and book shelves in there. Hubby took over the dining room. I don't think we've ever used it either. Since we have an eat in kitchen, that's where all of our family meals were. I love my office. Of course since there is still living room furniture in it, people tend to come sit down while I'm writing to "chat"Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264060298236728344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-85823027668267744522012-10-29T18:55:03.498-04:002012-10-29T18:55:03.498-04:00Hi, Lisa.

I need the buzz around me--either at B&N or at the kitchen table. I think I'm afraid I'll miss something.<br /><br />That said, I have a corner in the bonus room with two desks and a cluttered bookcase. Basically I just pile things on the desks--I never write at them. LOL.<br /><br />But, Kristen is moving out after the first of the year and I'm turning the room into a changing room--I'll have my own closet!!<br />slash extra bedroom, slash reading room. We'll see what really comes out of it come January or February. What with the best laid plans an all.<br /><br />Love your space!

It's a gene that skipped me altogether. It's storage that's "ferhoodling" me.

It's very Country French, and I have a space heater that keeps me quite comfy and a wing chair next to the window that looks out over our backyard and woods. My room is always pretty tidy because I need it to be that way when I work. I'm a terrible person because I cringe when Husband comes in with his papers and beverages to sit in my chair so he can be close to me. I don't want him to work in here or bring his piles of papers and stuff to mess up my space. I know, I know, I'm a brat, but I'm always gracious to him. And when he leaves a trail of paper, cups, socks, etc., I simply remove them and return my room to order.

In some ways, being tied to a desktop computer in the past probably helped because I was required to allocate a specific space.<br /><br />Love the idea of using the garage.
