My Corner Office

Hello friends!  Today I am sharing a few pictures of my office space.  Our house has four bedrooms and we have three kids.  That means my "office" is actually a corner of our family room.  It works well most days.  Except when all the kids are home from school and I have work to get done.  I repeatedly tell Billy (my husband), "our next house will definitely have an office/craft room!",  but the fact of the matter is, our next house will probably have all of those things because the bedrooms won't be full of kids.  And I realize that maybe this little corner in the family room isn't so bad after all.

Wire Basket Hanging Light

Happy Veteran's Day!   I hope your week is off to a great start!  Today, I am sharing a small project.  I added a quirky & fun new light to my "office" this week.  My office space is actually just a corner of our family room.  Especially when I am working alone in the fairly large room, I like to have the option to turn off the recessed lights overhead and still have enough light at my desk.  I have been on the lookout for a pendant style light.  But one with some personality.  And one that could easily be moved because I am forever changing things.

I should back up and tell you first about how excited I was to find out that there is now a Hobby Lobby in northern NJ.  Can you believe we lived for years without either a Hobby Lobby OR World Market?  And now we have both within a reasonable driving distance.  Life changing!  So I was wandering around Hobby Lobby-by myself-which is pretty much as good as it gets.  And I found a hanging light kit for cheap.  And then I could use the 40% off coupon too.  They had some wire pendant shades meant to go with the lamp kit that were cute.  But I was looking for something with a bit more interest.
