There is this space that we have upstairs that I have never been able to get right. When you come up the stairs to our house there is a pretty decent sized landing. I have put a large desk along the wall, but it was huge (and ugly) and you had to squeeze past it to get into the playroom. Then, I just left it blank, but blank spaces make me anxious! I put some of the kid's toy shelves there, but those didn't work out. The toys just migrated down the stairs and never made it into the playroom. I tried to turn it into an art area, but the shelve on the wall fell and the same issue started happening with the toys. So, I was at a loss again. My friend, Lane, updates older furniture and makes bulletin boards and lamps. I had seen this desk a while back and thought it would be perfect for the space. The best part was that it fits against the side wall, instead of the front wall, leaving plenty of space to get into the playroom and it's a perfect space for me to work while the kids are playing!
I anticipate this bulletin board to be filled with photos, drawings, and other fun things once I get to use the space. I am sure that the desk will be covered in lists, etc. with ideas and plans for work and home. I am always planning! Now I will have a place for my stuff, because I have just been using the coffee table...which needs an update, too!
I added the little mason jar with faux hydrangeas, because I thought that would be a nice touch! Disregard the holes in the wall. Those were projects gone bad! Once I finish all the big stuff we are going to have the house repainted and those holes will be covered.
Isn't this precious how it all coordinates together? I just love it!
And here is a view into the playroom. You can see how well it fits! I am so happy to have this space fixed and I love having an area for me.
