First, a confession. I should be doing a million other things right now. However, I'm tired and I am going to sit here because, right now, at this moment, I can. That brings me to my second point. I need help (yes, I know what my close friends are thinking ...). Interior decorating has never been my strong suit. Design, fashion, you name it- I am rarely surprised by my own ability to produce aesthetically pleasing creations. Decorations I get compliments on are usually ideas that I have shamelessly swiped from other sources. Outfits that people notice on me are ones that I copied right off the manikan or ones that my sisters picked out for me.
So here's my dilemma. I was inspired by this Country Living "Closet-Office" picture, and I decided to convert our living room closet into a little office space.
Here's our living room closet before.
Here's our living room office, after!
...and here's where you come in. Do you see the space on the wall where I have the picture frame leaning? It needs to be decorated and I am asking for your help. I want some color, (I like reds or yellows), and I am looking for some kind of rustic, vintage, or mountainy idea. Any suggestions would be appreciated. And hey, if I choose your design...maybe I'll send you a reward! (...or at least I will think about it and feel guilty for not doing it as I sit and rest...)

Camille, I have 'pinned' a bunch of my favorite workspace ideas. Probably won't help in this particular situation, but perhaps it will inspire you in other ways :-).

Thanks John! I'm checking out the pictures, actually some fun ideas as well as good organization tips- which I need as well. I may steal some ideas...Cool site, I haven't seen the "pin" idea before!
Camille ~ It looks great! And just think, your desk isn't taking up space in the living room area and your books are available, but not in the middle of everything. As far as decorating ideas....I can't say that I have even the slightest flair for that myself, so I don't think I can be much help to you.... :-(
I have some ideas Camille. Hang that picture you have leaning. Or get 1-3 blank frames, insert a matt board in them and paint them 3 different colors red, yellow and blue or green or shades of these colors, like 3 shades of red. Or just 3 frames and put pictures in them. Find an old window frame or cork board and cover it with pictures and put it up. Or paint a scene directly on the wall that would be fun. I'll do it!
Love you,
Terra
Thanks Terra and Aunt Karen! Terra- I really like the different pic frame idea and the window idea...we should go thrift store shopping and maybe garage-sale-ing together...

I copy ideas all the time, Camille... I think it's perfectly fine to do that!! Just call it inspiration and you'll feel better. :)
You little space looks so great already! The only suggestion I would have is to use lighter or brighter colors in your decorating since it's a closet and will be darker by nature. Can't wait to see the finished product. :)
