Is it just me, or are the weeks speeding by even faster than usual? As I prepare to head back to Cincinnati for school in just a few short weeks, I am trying to find a way to do all of those summer fun activities before we officially kiss the season goodbye. Between my constant working, it will be quite a challenge. But I am dying to go a wine tasting, peruse the shops in Montrose, have a girls night with my family, and maybe see a show at one of the theaters downtown. If you knew what my work schedule looked like for the next couple of weeks, you would probably laugh at my summer bucket list, but I am a dreamer.
Speaking of dreaming...
I've been putting together some ideas for my new apartment that I'll be moving into in September. It's a small one bedroom (seriously, the bedroom is pretty darn small) and while it's not luxury, I'm really excited about fixing it up and reviving it over time. I'll be living there until I graduate because nothing short of a roach infested apartment would get me to agree to move again. I do not enjoy packing.
Here is my current dilemma: There are two large closets in the apartment. One is in the entry way area, with double sliding mirrored (blech) doors. The other is obviously in the bedroom and it's more of an open nook area. It could make a really great closet, don't get me wrong, but I've also been toying with the idea of turning it into a little office/blogging nook and using the entry closet for my clothes instead.
Some of my favorite closet office nooks:
I like that they all have something that defines the space but still stays really cohesive with the rest of the room. In the first two, I'm loving the graphics on the walls that make it feel more separate and secluded, but in the last one I love the way they continued the same color scheme and just used a subtle sheer curtain to define the office. They all look like cozy, inspiring spaces to get your work on.
But it is hard to give up having a glamourous closet. Although, these open closet storage solutions make me think I could find some alternatives, as long as I keep the rest of the small room simple and clean:
So what would you do, friends?
P.S. Is it just me or is finding a title to blog posts the trickiest part of blogging? Stumps me every time.
Hope you're all having a great week. Tomorrow is Friday!

I could definitely use one of these closets :)
ReplyDeletetitling (sp?) is my favorite part of blogging. or writing in general. mostly because I'm way too corny for my own good. but goodness me, these closet/bedroom/nooks are to die for!
ReplyDeleteI have never loved anything more...
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I love the second office nook and the last two closet ideas! They're all so cute! I can't wait to see how your new place turns out! About the problem with titles, that's seriously my biggest problem too. It used to stump me so badly and leave me staring at the blinking cursor in so much frustration, that I would simply give up on trying to blog for the day altogether.
ReplyDeleteNow, I ignore the title, and just write my entry. Usually, inspiration hits for a title somewhere along the process of posting. :)
Ohhh my goodness, the 4th and 5th ones are my dream! I love the 5th one because I like that the clothes not only serve as a closet, but also a headboard. Thats definitely a room for someone who worships their wardrobe.
