Inside My Favorite Room In Our Home

It is hard to believe that the small room, tucked in between our guest bedroom and master bedroom, has become my favorite spot in our home. Located on our second floor, my home office has become a place of comfort, peace and refuge in an often chaotic home over the past eight months. Whether during our move, painting, numerous house projects or just busy weeks this small space is the only area of our home that always remains spotless and organized. For eight to ten hours a day, five days a week this is where I conduct team conference calls, customer meetings, business planning and every aspect of my role.

The transition from working in an office to a home office was far smoother than I expected, partially because I love walking through the French doors to my office each morning and because I don’t miss the wasted time spent on commuting, unnecessary meetings and getting ready for the office. Sure, I get dressed each day and brush my teeth but it only takes me five minutes to look and feel presentable versus putting on a business casual outfit, full face of makeup and styling my hair.

Though we had a vision for the office, with the help of our designer, Ashley Manfred, the space didn’t come together overnight. Slowly but surely we’ve added touches to the room so that finally, eight months after we moved in, it feels like a complete home office. Whether I’m doing my “day job” or my evening and weekend side hustle, aka blogging, I look forward spending time here due to the smell of my gardenia scented candle and the soothing color palette.
