I've never been one to leave stuff alone! Like ever!!! After I "finish" a room Graham asks his age-old question, "How long will it stay this way?" I can never know for sure how long I'll keep a space one certain way. If you visit my home, chances are it'll look different from your previous visit. That's me! I was the kid who rearranged her bedroom once a month--just ask my parents! It's not that I'm constantly spending money to re-do things, but I move stuff around often, add, take-away, sell stuff, replace stuff...change! There are a number of reasons why rooms change around here, but mainly it's to better fit our needs. That's especially true for our office/schoolroom.
First time around: I painted my childhood desk, painted the walls brown, and added some personal touches. At the time, I thought I really liked it and I probably did. Now...not so much! :) These pics make me cringe just a little!
Take two: I repainted the walls to lighten the space up, added the girls' desks, purchased some shelving from IKEA, and prepared the room for our homeschooling adventure.
Take three: I added my Instagram photos to the "H" and a few more school items.
And presently...
I rearranged the room by moving the desk and shelving.
We purchased another bookshelf from IKEA.
I moved our filing cabinet from the closet to the office. Man, I sure wish it was tan and not black! That's sure to change!! :)
It just makes sense that our files are next to my desk. Before, I would walk across the house to file things away or grab papers that I needed--not user-friendly at all.
I added some IKEA curtains that had stashed in the attic.
I added one of Mamaw's little frames to my desk.
I'm still loving my Instagram pics displayed on the "H".
I added more organizational bins!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to organize!!!!!
**********
Like I said earlier, things are ever-changing around here. Case in point: the entryway is now on it's 210th look!!! It's morphed too many times to count and now it serves as a workplace for the girls!! I'll be posting about the "new" table (and make-over) and entryway re-do in the coming weeks.
Are you a "decorate and leave it alone" person? Or, are you like me?
Do you change it up often?
Be warned: This room is sure to change again!! I'll be sure to keep you posted when it does!
