Office Love

I am very fortunate to have an office I like very much.  I spend more waking hours in my office than any other one place so I'm glad that mine is so nice.  A big reason I like it so much is because I have done a lot to personalize it and make it feel like my own.  I've mentioned before that I have a darling Keurig in my office that was a present from my mother.  I use it every day and truly love it.  I had a little coffee serving area next to it and recently added another tray on the other side to hold tea fixings.  

My lovely Keurig set up, note the Tiffany mug a sweet gift from Linds.  The carafe holds water for the Keurig, not vodka, this isn't Mad Men!

 Another feature of my office I really enjoy is my desk chairs.  For my first two years I had the standard issue office chairs and I never really liked them.  I hold a lot of meetings in my office and I wanted chairs people could move around and roll up to my desk as well as something that was more aesthetically pleasing.  One day I found two fabulous tweed club chairs at SVDP for only $25 each so of course I snapped them up.

I also have a tiny bit of green in my office in the form of a bonsai tree, also from my mother.  I do not have much of a green thumb but so far so good.

In addition to the changes to my Keurig set up I also made some changes to my bookshelf today.  As you can see holding books is kind of its' secondary function.  Primarily it holds photos of my favorite people and other little knick knacks. 

lotsa babies

I've also decorated the walls to suit my personal taste.  I had an accent wall painted in a greyish-blue, borrowed a piece of art from the College's Collection and hung up corkboards for my own mementos.

All in all it's a pretty nice place to spend 40 hours per week (give or take).  Last night my mom made Blackberry Chicken for dinner.  It was delicious! 

                                         
I have a pasta dish cooking in the slow cooker to enjoy after zumba.  I'll post about it tomorrow.  Until then friends!  What do you think of my office?  How do you personalize your work space?
