It feels like Spring here in Chicago Land!!!! Wooooo Hooooo I have the windows open and the birds are singing and I even heard the hubby run the lawn mower. Soooooo Excited to hear those things and smell the fresh air.
I did some Spring cleaning in my office today and I thought I would show you some pictures. Then I am off to the yard to start to get some of my stuff set up for flowers hopefully in a few weeks.
Have a beautiful day!!! Hope you are enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.

I got this chippy stair post from Grays Lake Flea Market a few weeks ago from Jeanine at her Chippy Shabby Booth. I fell in love with this piece the minute I set eyes on it. I brought it home not knowing what I would do with it but it was so chippy and calling to me. I was thinking outside in the garden somewhere this summer and then it hit me!!!! I have been trying to section off my office in the back of the house from the dining room and I think this is perfect. I was thinking about some kind of old doors and making a wall as a divider but that would really cut off my light so I think this little chippy rail does the trick. |
|
This space in the back of the house was all closed off and a closet when we moved in. I hated that it cut off the light of that window and I did not want to take up one of my small bedrooms to make an office so this space seemed perfect for my office. It is bright and open. |
|
Remember that old kitchen cabinet I got out of an old 100 year old tear down. I love it in my office for storage. You know how I love to re love things back into my home. |
|
My little storage bins are perfect to keep all my magazines and decor books. |
|
I love an old gate and this one works perfect above my desk for hanging my "junk" on!! |
|
I loved this old vintage desk that a bought a long time ago at an estate sale and it was chippy for that time worn look. |
|
Now I feel like just adding the stair rail gives the room some division from the rest of the space. I still cannot believe that space was a closet at one time. Too ugly and blocked the window. I think it makes a better office. |
|
I spruced up the old mantel area. I also got this chippy fun old window from Jeanine at Grays Lake Flea. I had the hubby hang it for me in between the mantel opening. I think it brings some character to that open space. Don't you love the old architectural feature of the wood inside the window. |
|
Spruced up the table setting on the dining room table. |
|
Even added some more spring to the bike. Moved my wellies and garden hat to the bike. Just feels a little more spring like now.
Well I am off to the outside. Wow it was great to hear the lawn mower going today. I love the smell of fresh cut grass!!!! I will post my outside spruce up soon. Have a great week end. Kris :)
