Laptops have contributed to my demise this past year or so. I am coming clean and admitting it. They say admitting your problem is the frist step, right? HA! I haven’t really had a “problem” per se, but I had some health issues and a bit of depression with deaths I’ve had to deal with, so I’ve been working literally “from bed”.
Watch my video to understand more of what I’m talking about and what I’m doing… but listen CLOSELY because it’s the WHY that’s the important thing.
To get a better understanding of the situation, I’ve had this dilemma about all the nice woodwork in the room that I had this “guilt” of painting it and “ruining it”. I tried to work around it when I fixed it several years ago and made it my “pink space” but it never really quite did it for me. Now, I’m totally and FINALLY OVER it. OVER that damn brown wood! HA! My old office post
You can see my old office post HERE.
Now…. after seeing this (and reading a few my tips on designing your space), watch my video I shared in The Lounge

So I figured it was time for a change. I need to make a change. What I love most about this situation is that it has SO much more to do about LIFE more than decor. Nothing is going to change unless you recognize it’s TIME for change and then you decide to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Make sense?
Back to decor…
I need to get back to the place that’s going to be the best for what I need. Work. #Werk. Bed isn’t for work! LOL!
When you’re figuring out the space you’re in, make sure
- it enables you to be productive vs hinders your production with distractions
- is comfortable to your taste and liking
- is condusive to the type of work you do (ex: does it allow for creativity, free flow thinking or does it feel restrictive and constrained)
I’ve pulled a few rooms that are giving me a bit of inspiration….
(all found on my Pinterest)
In case you haven’t hung out with my gang and me in The Lounge, you need to pop in and check it out. It’s not for women only, however, it is more female oriented. Just letting you boys know in case you’re thinking about joining us!
I mentioned my Life On Purpose E-Books. I talk more about decor there. You can learn more about them HERE.
I will do a reveal once I’m done with my office. I can’t wait! I want it done like NOW!

Can’t wait to see the finished result! I struggle with being able to take my laptop anywhere too! I have an office but my desk is too small. Maybe once I see your finished office it will push me to buy a new one!

I know, right? Our laptop makes life easy but it can be so distracting! ha!

Looking forward to the reveal! I’m definitely one that feels frustrated if my desk or surroundings aren’t clean and organized and I’m trying to work. LOL!
Irene Gianos says
Thank you! Having a space you love to be in is so important, isn’t it?
Thanks for following along!
