Office Organization and Decluttering

So I mentioned we moved a bookshelf/desk unit into the now empty office. Well, since the weather is so cold I can’t or won’t go outside to paint the bookshelves for the guestroom and few other things that need to be painted. I decided to stay in the warm house and organize and declutter the office.

Two days of sorting, throwing away, donating, later the office is clean and usable. I can now get in there and work on projects and find things easily. There are now two desks in the office, my sewing machine is out and easy to access, and there is a big open space in the center to set up my worktable.

Once I finish the guest room, I’m going to get in here and change the terrible drapes that I hate, and maybe paint the big bookshelves. They were painted when I was about 11 … so they are rather little girlish and very beat up. But after all the other painting projects I may just decide to not paint them. I also can't wait to hang art on the walls, I have quite a bit of art in closets I want to hang in here. 

We also moved the ferrets into the office and they like it much better (and so do I).  If you notice the dog, that Cleo, she feels the need to be in photos. 

Vince wasn't here when I did all this so I piled up his stuff on his bookshelf and now he gets to organize and declutter!
