In my home, I no longer have a room that is designated as the "office" - we gave that room to our son Nate, so he could have his own room. Instead, I created an office space in my living room.
I actually like my little corner - since the Living Room is where the kids play, this keeps me in the same room whether I'm paying bills, writing, or scrapbooking. The biggest challenge is keeping it neat!! I work hard to keep it from piling up too badly but every Thursday is "clean off my desk day". I have to sort through piles, file everything, and make sure that nothing slips through the cracks. I love my roll top desk - it was a "bet" with my dad when I was in high school. I bet that I could save 1/2 the money to buy a desk we were going to build together. He agreed thinking I wouldn't do it (I only needed $250.00!). Well, I saved my money but he didn't want to build one LOL So, I saw one on sale at a furniture store that equaled the $500.00 total . .. but when I got home from school, he had bought this one which was much nicer :-) The thing is a bear to move but I love it so it is worth it! That's all - my simple little "office" space :-)
Here is the list of all the rooms and dates. I'm listing this here because I keep searching for it!
10/22 - Children's rooms
10/29 - Guest Room
11/5 - Bathrooms
11/12 - Playrooms/Bonus Rooms/Laundry Rooms
11/19 - Foyers/Entry ways
11/26 - Off for Thanksgiving
