a little more space

I have a love-hate relationship with our apartment. For the most part I do love it, but what is really starting to get to me is the lack of space. Compared to my NYC apartment, it would be considered massive, but in reality, it’s far from. I have my desk nook which I am a huge fan of and practically live in, but I’ve decided that not only do I need an actual office, but it needs to double as a craft room, as well. Our kitchen table has been fully taken over by the FPTP greeting card line (more on that very soon), and I have what looks like a mini Michael’s Store literally surrounding the living room. Let’s just say the boyfriend is not thrilled with said situation. Our lease is up in April, and one of my requirements for wherever we move is to have this office/craft room I dream of on a daily basis. Some craft room inspiration below.

the desk nook (part 2)

As you may have read here, I wrote all about my desk nook that I would be getting in the new apartment in Houston. I have to say it’s absolutely my favorite feature. Since I work from home the majority of the time, I need an area that feels almost like a small office (as opposed to working at the kitchen table, which I did while living in New York). As much as I’m loving it, I need to reorganize it. I know I’ve only been here a little over three months, but something just isn’t working. It is not the largest space, but it is large enough to make into a great area. This past week I’ve been non-stop searching the Internet (thank goodness for Pinterest) to get some inspiration on how to change things up. I then spent quite some time at Michaels yesterday, which definitely may be the happiest place on earth, to get even more inspiration (I love good DIY projects). I wanted to share my six favorite desk and office images that have been helping me figure out exactly what I want.
