I'm SH-READING what I'm going to do with all this paper!

A new year means reorganizing and throwing out what is not needed. I have papers from years ago...I mean YEARS ago! It's actually embarrassing that I have moved these papers from house to house without going through them.  I clearly had better things to do :)  Well...now is the time!

I can't believe I let this go for so long.  Let the shredding begin!

Say hello to my lil friend!

I enlisted my oldest son to help me out...well, we have a new system going on around here (I will explain about that later).  Wow...not even half way through the box and look at the bags!

5 bags!! Really....and look at that box still half way full

This weekend is all about finishing the shredding and getting ready to paint!  I chose the color (I hope it looks nice).  Can't wait to redecorate the office.

To grey or not to grey...that is the question!

Since our home office feels like Indiana Jones works in here, it's time to update.  I'm looking for small changes with big impact!  We all know where that begins.....PAINT!  I have looked at these dark, gold walls long enough.  I want something fresh and clean and most important, completely different.  I'm thinking GREY!  A nice grey that isn't blue or green.

Ok now I'm scared.  I really do not want to repaint several times before I get the "right" grey.  I have been googling images and while some pictures are beautiful, how do I know what it will look in my room at a given time of the day???  I need samples!

Now to throw a curve ball into my decision process, I am now considering off white!  I can't remember the last time I had a white wall in my house.  I just figured since I have dark furniture, off white would look classy.

Now I need another sample!

Mirrored Desks

Now that I am deep into home office makeover, I'm thinking a new desk would be nice.  I have been crazy, in love, with mirrored furniture for quite some time...and what is better than to have a mirrored desk in the office!  Everything I have seen is expensive and definitely not in my budget.  I love being married to my awesome husband so I must'n shock his system with a pricey piece of furniture that I don't need since we already have a desk  that I need.  I found a few that I like but I am not liking the price :(

Lusetta Mirrored Desk is in the budget if I can buy it quick enough!

Via Houzz

This design is so pretty and very french looking...ooh la la :)  However, I think the desk is too traditional for my taste.

Via Room Service Store

I really like the clean lines and pewter accent and of course the gorgeous crystal knobs.  The drawers are a bit too small for my constant clutter.
