BEFORE
AFTER
Just so you know, my desk doesn't always look as neat as it did yesterday. My desktop has been in a constant state of flux for six months. Part of the problem is I had no where to go with all my "in process" reading material but I'm improving in that area. :) The other problem is that I don't have a lot of time to spend in the space. And for some reason my children whine even more wildly when I try and take a minute here during the day. Most of the time my computer is in the kitchen at counter height so that little hands can't reach it.
I would like to find a bookshelf to store all those books that you want to dip into every so often. I started reading A Field Guide to the Familiar which I highly recommend but I'm not interested in reading it all at once. If I put a book on the shelves downstairs I am sure to forget about it for a long time. Come to think of it I really should just buy a shelf.
The wall in front of my desk is boring. I envision a long rectangular bulletin board of sorts and some framed prints above that. I have my eye on several prints from Etsy. Have you seen the Flickr group Inspiration Boards? I'll warn you there are 1300 photos of delight so check it with a cup of coffee. I've been inspired despite my lack of craftiness. There are many things that inspire me and I am in constant need of reminders about things I am trying to learn.
A couple of you said you couldn't post a photo of your desk but I would love to see your desk, neat, messy or otherwise. Won't you join me?
