an open house: workroom

kitchen | family room | back yard | laundry/hall | back bath & bedroom | front hall & bath | living room Otherwise known as the front bedroom, where my mom and aunt grew up, this is going to be our office space once we get it better organized. But for now, this and the living room are where the majority of our yet-unpacked boxes are huddling. When my mom was living here while working as a teacher (second grade being her favorite age), she put up these white plastic fake bricks on one wall. They're gone now (with permission) -- but due to the glue there is still a sort of brick-pattern outline on the now-light-gray wall, made from both glue and places where trying to remove the "bricks"/glue chipped off gray paint. I actually think that looks better than the fake plastic bricks, sort of loft-y industrial. That's not the long-term design goal, though. We've cleared that far side of the room a bit better now, partly in the process of getting to the wall to remove the "bricks", and my desk is now over under the right side window. The boxes are still huddling over there, though. kitchen | family room | back yard | laundry/hall | back bath & bedroom | front hall & bath | living room
