I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. As you probably noticed, I took last week off from blogging, and from writing too, which was kind of a bummer because I had an awesomely productive writing week prior to Thanksgiving. Getting back on track this week, though, and thought I’d give you an update on the office attic space.
It has been coming along nicely (a bit slowly as well, but that’s life, I suppose) and I’ve been enjoying my new writing space. In fact, I’m there right now writing this blog post. The Prince is on his baby play mat behind me, and The Boy is outside playing with his grandma. I even have tea and leftover pumpkin pie to enjoy (devour!). All in all a pretty good deal.
The office isn’t finished finished…there are still boxes that need to be put away, storage units that need to be built, molding to be finished, a few doors to be installed, and we need to figure out where exactly we’re going to put my ficus tree, which I bought when I was 9 years old and has grown considerably larger since then. But it’s turning out to be a very functional space even with all the clutter.
My view isn’t the prettiest, but it kind of makes me feel like a suburban Mary Poppins. No chimney sweeps and certainly not as picturesque as London at twilight, but it’s mine and I love it all the same.
One of these days when the room is organized and clean (which may never happen with the kiddos playing up here), I’ll post some good before, during, and after photos. In the meantime, I’ll keep writing my WIP in my WIP of an office. 🙂
Yay! Looks like a wonderful spot, and I love your view! Happy writing 🙂
It is quite wonderful! Happy writing to you too, Meradeth!
I love the idea of a suburban Mary Poppins! Good luck getting back into the writing groove post-Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Anna! That scene in Mary Poppins where they all go up on the roofs and then dance with the chimney sweeps is one of my all-time favorite scenes from any movie.
Nice! My daughter is sleeping in the room that will be my office when this addition is finally finished. 😉
We rearranged the whole house when baby boy #2 was born in June. (Actually the baby’s crib was in the living room for a while!) Now the baby is in my older son’s old room, my older son is in the room that used to be my office, and we have my new office/playroom in the attic. I hope you get into your new writing space soon, Kelly!
It’s so cozy. I love that you have this space to call your own.
It’s nice to have a dedicated writing space again, though I do share it with the boys and some of their toys. The floor space is as large as our entire house downstairs (just with much less head room), so there’s plenty of room to share. Thanks for popping in and checking it out!
