Office Makeover: Up Close and Personal

Last week I finally revealed the

results of my year long office

transformation project with the
"Where Bloggers Create" party.

 

What fun it was! I am amazed by all

of the beautiful and creative work

put out by so many bloggers!

 

And I mentioned that this

week I would show some

of the "up close and personal"

views of my office.

 

This time, no drum roll,

just a "Ta daaaaaa!"

 

Let's take a closer look,

shall we?

 

 

I have never regretted buying

this ribbon dispenser from

Ballard Designs.

 

It is so handy and it blends

in with my décor. Not that I had

any specific décor when I bought it

mind you, but now it goes really well!

 

Now when I am wrapping a gift

or adding special touches

to an order, I have several ribbon

choices, right at my finger tips.

 

 

These little Scottie dogs were not

purchased together... but their pairing

 is almost turning into a collection.

Isn't it three or more of something

... that makes it a collection?

 

So, I'm good.

So far.

 

 

This black and white print came

from my hubby's house

before we were married.

 

I painted this shelf just for the

office makeover... and found

this little baby dress to hang there.

 

What you can't see really well

is a pin cushion/tape measure

 I bought at a flea market when

I was a little girl. It is one of

those things I will never sell.

 

An array of vintage industrial

things displayed on a Victorian

glass vanity tray. I like how the

two looks can "hang out" together.

 

This is what is patiently waiting on

my desk to be listed next...

I think.

Summer seems to be the hardest

time of year for me to get new

items into the shop.

 

There is much to do with my

sweet Bebe.

 

This is my dress form ...

I found her in a booth in the

antique mall where we used to

have a space...

 

And then a couple of months

later I found another one

in the same booth! She was a

really good deal because she

was a little disjointed.

 

This antique tea chest

came from my hubby's house, again,

before we were married. I loved the

look of it and the fact that it is

from a Boston Tea Company!

How cool is that?

With my love for American

History this is really a neat

piece to have in my office.

It is filled with supplies

like printer paper, labels,

disks, printer ink, etc.

 

 

And here is a look at my
"Ladies in Waiting."

Waiting to be sold, that is!

Sweet and lovely vintage figurines

...complete with lace and florals.

What's not to love?

 

Hope you enjoyed my up

close and personal tour

through my office.
