Bad news in the Amadatsu household: Mommy (moi) has misplaced the Nikon battery charger. ARGH. I’ve look everywhere – high, low, and in between, and I simply cannot find it. I have even checked our vents (crazy sounding I know, but Carys has discovered how to take the covers off and thinks its fun to put things down them. Now you see why I call her and Ben MONKEY’s!). I used to be so bad about putting the charger back in the camera bag too, so I’m especially annoyed because I’ve been making a point of putting it back, but alas here I am today with a dead Nikon battery and no charger to be found. I’m very sad. Especially since I was so excited to have time today to take pictures of my finished cabinet (as promised)!

So, in lieu of my “After” post, here’s a little peek into what is happening in our office. Out of all the rooms in the house (besides Carys’ bedroom perhaps), the office has been the LEAST complete since we moved in. Ok, to be totally honest, it has been a very embarrassing hodge-podge of items – boxes of books, random computer cables (nope, no charger there either, already looked!), neglected filing, and miscellaneous “temporary” furniture until we got around to getting it in order…I can’t even bring myself to post a “Before” picture…it’s that bad.

Since this room has gotten to the point of driving us CRAZY with how ugly and disorganized it is, we have prioritized furnishing it in March and April. Seriously, we are so excited. It’s a treat to have a pretty, organized space in which to work (not to mention sit at the computer drinking coffee and reading my favourite blogs!).

So, wanna see what we have planned? The office isn’t HUGE (10′ 9″ x 11′ 6″) but we still wanted to have a decent amount of shelving for all our books (and my ever growing stash of design mags), plus a good sized desk and an apartment sized sofa (with a sofa bed for guests)….Here is the floorplan I came up with:

Anyhow, you’ll be hearing more soon about the Office plans…but in the meantime, say a little prayer for that charger so i can take my “After” pictures!
