Lively Happenings: My Home Office

This morning I wanted to start the day off right by posting about my office! Yes, I know, it's JUST an office. However, I LOVE my office. It's colorful, bright, open, and partial DIY decor!

As you walk into the office, you are invited by a large window, blue and green decor, and a messy desk. :)

I love the 3 bird cages hanging from the ceiling! One was from my father's house, and the other two I purchased at discount stores (TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls, I can't actually remember the exact ones!) And yes, I do play that guitar. I might not play it very well, but I do know a few chords!

And as we keep moving, we see the messy desk space! We no longer have that TV from the early 90's. We donated it to Goodwill a week ago.

Now back to the cleaner portion of the room....I LOVE my papasan and leg rest! We got the Papasan, the desk that holds the dual computers, a table, 2 chairs, 2 side tables, and a separate papasan cushion (now used as a dog bed) all for $50 dollars from a lovely girl who was moving to Japan with her fiance! We got lucky with that Craigslist find!

DIY project 1 was my shutter board. I love using old things and making them new! I bought this and 3 other shutters for a total of 15 bucks from Goodwill! They were brown, but I spray painted them with white crackle paint. I am not the best at reading instructions though, so my paint never crackled. Yes, that was really poor thinking on my behalf. I didn't put a base coat of paint on before applying the crackle, but I still like the way it turned out!
