from the doorway...
to the left...
a place to sit down to work...
and some lovely shelving for storage.
when we moved into this house about 7 years ago, the previous owners had turned the storage closet under the staircase into a pseudo-office. it was an awesome idea - they even had an outlet and a phone line installed in there - but it was very utilitarian, which was fine. the closet is right off of our kitchen, so it is really nice to be able to do "officey" things like check my email, pay a bill, read a blog post, etc. while prepping dinner.
anyway, a little over a year ago allan agreed to help me transform this storage closet into an office space just for me! we weren't going to use it for storage of any kind anymore (it had become a hot-spot to drop off our things). he was super sweet to let me have a space of my own and even more sweet to do all of the work on it. he painted the room, painted shelves and installed them, put in a new desktop, and installed a new light fixture. once all of that was done, i put on some finishing touches to make it my own. it is now a space i love to spend time in, though it is super small, because i can shut the door and go about a task or a phone call as uninterrupted as possible with three sweet kids running amuck! :)
