Two tables and a room
Take a little room, a white floor, lots of white paint, some old shutters from Andalusia, a touch of Ikea and two old tables and you got a brand new work space !
I had lots of fun creating this little space. That is… after I finally took of all the old wallpaper. I live in this house for twenty years after it was build and the walls were like a history book. When my children were little we used to change rooms a lot. And I had to peel off all those layers of wallpaper and paint until I reached the first layer of soft pink wallpaper my now grown up daughter had chosen when she was three years old.
The painting was done very fast, as it is all the same white. I like to paint things white at first. And after practicing installing a floor in the bedroom before (on here) I had put up the floor in no time.
I must admit it sounds a bit over the top to say I have got my own office but it sure feels pretty good to have a place where you can work on something without having your living room or the only table in the house cluttered with maps and paperwork. And sitting on a normal chair instead of lying on the couch with my laptop is feeling way better to.
When I get to it I will put up some little shelves for my favorite books and picture frames. And as I told you before (on here ) I also found an old table in a container from the post office as they were changing all the furniture. After taking of the big plastic boxes, where they used to throw the parcels in I used it to store my magazines. I placed it on the other wall of the room But more of that later… For now enjoy the pictures and tell me what you think of them. Part two here
Het afpellen was als het lezen van een geschiedenis boek. In de afgelopen jaren is dit kamertje vaak van eigenaar veranderd en het duurde dan ook even voordat ik bij de oorspronkelijke zacht roze behanglaag van mijn toen drie jarige peuter was aangekomen. Daarna ging het snel. De verf zat er zo op en na het oefenen met de vloer in de slaapkamer (hier) lag deze dit keer bijzonder snel op zijn plek.
Ik moet toegeven dat het en beetje over de top klinkt om te zeggen dat ik een eigen werk kamer heb maar het voelt zeker goed om niet meer een huiskamervloer of keukentafel bezaaid met mappen en papieren te hebben als je even iets moet doen. En achter je laptop zitten voelt ook een stuk beter dan liggend op de bank.
