Hurrah for paint! I have one room in our house that I got to paint as I chose. Almost everyone else thinks it’s totally overboard but for me it’s perfect, and I love to sit in here and soak in the vivid colour. (2 walls pumpkin orange, 2 walls olive green.) I love the colour you’ve picked.

We’re now planning what colours to use in the rest of the house, though I feel my tastes may get tempered somewhat in other rooms.

Decorating is an odd cookie, it is a lot of disruption and effort, but the payoffs are so immense I still don’t know why we’re taking so long to get it done.

The results look wonderful – congratulations.

That makes me wanting to redesign my own workspace. I’m mostly the “laptop and then onto the bed” typist, but some space to draw would be nice.

I love the wall color! Thanks for sharing your studio/office re-do. Jen is great. I'm slowly redoing my studio space and hope to give it a fresh coat of paint this summer. (In fact, I plan to post this week on some minor changes in my studio layout.) Thanks for the inspiration. -Amy Amy Crawley’s last blog post..Monday Reflection

@Emma if I can manage the change, so can you! Promise!

@Jen … thanks for stopping by! And again, thankyouthankyouthankyou for the inspiration. You’re just fantabulous!

@Leah, welcome! And you’re welcome!

@Joely, the slanted desk was something I picked up at a yard sale. It’s from Levenger’s … a catalog that’s like crack for people who love office supplies. LOL. It’s their Editor’s Desk. And it totally rocks!

The thing I love most about this, Christy, is that it fits you. It fits you not from any external message about “this is the way it ’should’ be done”, but from an inner knowing.

You became willing to listen to what you needed – and look what happened. Now you have a place that feels like you, that feels like the sanctuary you need.

And the world is better for it. Think of the work you can create, now that you feel supported.

Thanks a million for mentioning my work. I’m deeply honored to play a small role in this tremendous transformation.

This rocks. As I sit here, crammed between a desk and bed, looking straight at a wall, the urge to start again with my own workspace is overwhelming. Great ideas, great pictures. Thanks for sharing it all. Like Diana, the whole desk in middle of room thing is food for thought. Emma Newman’s last blog post..Ten writing lessons learned – a reminder to my future self
