I’ve finally started settling into my new office, the “Red Room” and our former bedwomb. I wasn’t sure about the room at first — I was frustrated by the lack of usable wall space (two closets eat a lot of square footage) and the colors felt too dark for working. But I’ve done some shuffling around, some purchasing of plants and rotating of furniture and lighting of candles to deal with dark corners and now it’s feeling quite nice. I’ll have to take some pictures.
Despite moving in over four months ago, the house is just now starting to feel like home. And a really nice home, at that! I like our house and I like our neighborhood. I do wish our neighborhood was closer to downtown and had walkable commerical areas, but all things considered I’m pleased as punch with my homebase. I’m picky about my environs, so that’s saying something.

I LOVE your house! You’ve definitely overcome any limitations the physical space may have had. It feels light and warm, vibrant and peaceful, and definitely has the Ariel and Andreas touch. You’ve done well, little hen (and I say that with great affection… I am SUCH a nester)!
