A More Inspiring Workspace

 I couldn't be more thrilled that our

new home has an outbuilding to house my business

and all the "stuff" that goes with it.

It has this great space with a workcounter to do

my packing & shipping on

 and cubbies below to hold the boxes & supplies.

But, I'm sure you noticed that my

view will be less than scenic while working.

Someone had more fun with spraypaint

and the old door attached to the wall

had seen better days.

Packing and shipping is drudgery enough,

without staring at pure ugly while I work,

so, I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning {again}

to give myself a more inspiring workspace.

I used a  stack of receipts from a 1940's

Grocery/Hardware Store

and pages from a 1940's Ledger Book

to cover the door.

The ledger book had pages showing hours logged by a painter.

Apparently he earned $1 an hour

to paint a parsonage.

I mounted the metal clip file from

the Security Account Register as a place

to hang notes, photos & inspiration.

Rusty, old, square peg nails

make perfect pegs to hang supplies on.

Some old rulers "frame" up the edges.

Can't forget a clock & some spectacles.

And a rusty old tool box offers more storage.

And the job is done!

Little by little, I'll be showing you

the stages of converting this outbuilding

into a cozy, efficient office space.
