I canNOT believe it's been almost a year since our last finished product house update. When we bought this house, I thought we'd have it finished in a year. After all, there wasn't any major remodeling work, just things here and there that we wanted to change, plus lots of decorating to be done. I had absolutely no concept of how long it takes to tweak, decorate and furnish a room. Let me just tell you, when you're on a budget and you only have so much time, it takes awhile. ;) Having said that, you can see why I'm bouncing up and down in my (new) chair, ready to show you my completed office! It's so much more inspiring to work in than those before pictures down there. My goal is to start hosting clients at home and share this cozy space with others.

The before ... we had to move a vent and (my super talented husband) Nathan added wainscoting and lots of fresh paint.
