It would help if I actually did something to the window in this room, but I just haven't. Anyways, here's the office. This room is just a hodge podge of furniture and random things from all places. Total investment in this room is under the $100 dollar range. This room actually did get used A LOT when matt and I were in graduate school... now, not so much. That papason (how do you spell this word) chair was free from a friend in college, we just got a new cushion for it. I can't guarantee how long it will last, but it's held up pretty good the last 6 years. I just ignore the cracking and creaking it makes when I sit in it.
This cabinet we actually swiped from my mema's house (I think my uncle made it). We sanded it and painted it black. We have so many books, we really need another bookshelf, but this works for now. There is matt's guitar and his beloved cowboy hat that I once tried to sell at a garage sale.
And here's our desk. We got this desk off Craig's List for 10 bucks. Now, that's a deal for you. My parents bought us the chair when we moved in, the left drawer cabinet was my great grandmothers, we sanded and painted it too. The old rickety filing cabinet was free too. See that sunflower picture... yours truly painted that. That was my first Sips n Strokes creation. Good thing you can't see it up close. See, I told you the room was full of cheap things and so much excitement!!

I am such a believer is less is more - I love your room! Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely office. Maybe you should get some curtains like the ones you have in your dining room and put them in the office. I think that would be a nice touch to the room. Just my two cents...
I love your office space! That cabinet is gorgeous, I love the color of it!
very nice place to work!
Cute office space!
It's a really nice space! Love the cabinet/book shelf! I love my books too. And that almost selling the cowboy hat sounds like a good story :)
This is a perfect office space!

I wish our office was this clean! But when it's an office AND guest room, I guess that makes it hard!
Each of the things you stuffed here in this office has a story to tell, all from your sunflower painting to drawer cabinet from your great-grandma. You have a simplistic yet warm office, which is nice. Have you made any changes there in your home office since this blog post?
