I have been neglecting my poor little blog and it shows. I do have an excuse though. Remember that election last week? Well, I have news....I won! I am now a NH State Representative! That's in addition to being Vice-Chair of the School Board, Chair of a bunch of sub-committees and Rep to the budget committee. Oh, and let's not forget my job as an Assistant Innkeeper! Whoops...I forgot to mention my husband, 3 kids and 2 dachshunds. Yup, I'm a little busy. But I do love my blog and my passion is art and design, so I refuse to give it up! I am committing myself to 2 posts a week right now. The NH House starts the next session in January, so I will just have to see how much time I can devote to blogging. Concord, the state capitol is 2 hours from my house, which means a 4 hour drive 3 days a week! Whoa..I will let you guys know how I manage (or not).
Along with this new adventure comes an abundance of paperwork. My dining room is already overrun with all the stuff from my committee work. I would take a picture, but I can't find the charger for my camera. I am sure it is buried underneath the mountain of paper on the table! I have decided to move my office to my bedroom, so I have been spending the morning searching through pictures to get inspiration and ideas. I know I want it to be colorful..and organized...and cute. I will post pics when its done. Here are some photos to give you an idea of the things I like in a home office.

The Inspired Room
I am in love with the navy blue walls and the Anthropologie curtains in this room! |
So which office is your favorite? I like elements from all of them!
Wow, I'm impressed. You are one busy lady. Congratulations on the election.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby!
DeleteCongratulations on winning a seat! I shall cockily tell my friends I know a NH state representative. As busy as you are, you're going to NEED that office! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maureen!
DeleteI know it's been a while now but congrats on winning the race, Syndi. Anyway, Erin's office looks wonderful. It's very chic, organized, and crafty as well. It can be a good inspiration for your plans in your office. And speaking of which, how's it going now?

Hi Allan, Thank you for commenting. It has been so long since I have posted on this blog! I absolutely love being a State Representative, but have had no time to blog about design. Our legislative session has ended for the summer and I intend to give this abandoned blog some love. I have so many projects lined up. I STILL do not have an office. Everything is piled up in my dining room and driving me crazy. I have just started to organize and will post as soon as I make some progress!
