Me Project #1

One of the things my friend helped me to realize is that I need to focus some on myself and making myself happy. I have to say, I know my choices probably would not be the choices you would make if you found yourself in my shoes. All I can say, is that I need to start somewhere that I am comfortable with. Just a small step. In time those small steps will lead to bigger ones.

I told you about the home office and how it is very depressing to me and I really can't spend a lot of time there. But I really need a space for me. A space all of my own that I can work from. The must haves are a table (I really don't think I want a traditional desk), chair and some sort of bulletin board. I LOVE Sarah's space. I nabbed a picture from her blog...



Sarah has a whole room. She knits, sews, quilts among many other things. It's an awesome room. But I don't have a whole room.

Option One: Suck it up...clear off my desk and stay in the office. Drawbacks - I really won't be happy there.

Option Two: A small corner in the living room. Drawbacks - when you walk in the front door and turn right you are in the living room. The area would always have to be neat and tidy and it wouldn't be a very private space. Especially when you consider how much time others spend there watching tv, playing games, etc.

Option Three: We have a "breakfast area" in the kitchen. That's usually where the three of us eat. We also have a dinning room. We only use it when we have people over. It already has a table and chairs. Drawbacks - Again when you walk into the house and turn left you are in this room. Plus others tend to drop things off here: bookbags, school assignments, newspapers etc.

Option Four: We have a walk in closet that is pretty big. I know what you are thinking yuck - dark and creepy. But I've seen some nice office closets - look at this one.



Not bad. And my walk in closet even has a window. I could put the table right under the window. Drawbacks - we do use this closet and there probably wouldn't be a place for a bulletin board unless I put it on the back of the closet door.

Option Five: We have a pretty big bedroom. In one corner we have a trunk that matches our bedroom furniture. I could move that into the closet under the window and put the table there. I would have room for a bulletin board.

What do you think? Do you have a space of your own? Would you be willing to share about it.

Now I know you are saying to yourself, "Who is she talking to. No one's visiting this blog." Pat me on the back because today I'm going to go out and say hello to a few of my blogging friends and invite them over. If that's how you found me, thank you for visiting. I know my life isn't exciting, but I could really use some friends right now. And because I'm a little afraid to make decision right now, I really would like some input.
