I hope everyone survived the silly season intact....Unfortunately, I didn't get to participate in the Christmas festivities with you all this year....The reasons for which are twofold....I downloaded a toolbar mid November which has created havoc when using Google Chrome....For whatever reason I'm no longer able to log in to several sites when using GC....Blogger being one of them & using my iPad to blog just hasn't been practical or possible as I have my iPhone in my pocket when I'm out an about to take my pics....I'm afraid to say it has ONLY just occurred to me today to use Safari....**sigh**....Technical issues aside, Mr SVJ & I have also taken on a rather substantial project....Our FIRST JOINT venture, we're frantically 'clearing the decks' here at home to ensure we're ready to take on this new gig....More about that later....!!!!!
Right now I want to show you my NEW office....
Almost two years ago we discovered our bathroom had not been sealed properly when this place was built & subsequently, water had been leaking into the wall cavity & into my office from the moment we moved in....
This wall, the floor joists below & floor in the adjoining hall were damaged....TERRIBLY....After MUCH tooing & froing with our insurer, we received compensation & Mr SVJ took on the arduous task of gutting the bathroom completely, replacing the floor joists & building me a new wall....
The NEW carpet was laid last week & the cream walls were repainted white & began moving back in....
Happy HAPPY....JOY....JOY....!
I moved in three locker units to house Etsy stock as well as the multitude of smalls I gather in my travels....
The pale grey really pops off the white....!
18 x cubbies to STASH Treasures in....**wink**....!!!!!
The new carpet received the HIGHEST of praise from little Hartley....!!!
As my office is quite often used to work on projects eg. painting pieces, pulling things apart etc....I need to utilise as much floor space as I can so my desk actually sits in the wardrobe....
Filled with tiny treasures to make me SMILE OUT LOUD when I'm engaged in the most BORING of tasks....eg....PAPERWORK....**wink**....
Aside from a few pieces gathered during my visits to the US, or given to me by Friends....The majority of these Treasures were gleaned from the Hard Rubbish....
The clear desktop is NOT an indication that I'm up to date with my paperwork....And that is ANOTHER reason why I need as MUCH floor space as possible....
But I digress....These 7 x plastic finger puppets from the 1950's are amongst my most VALUED Tiny Treasures....I positively ADORE them....!!!!!!!!!!
The little green toy cast iron bathroom set is also another long termer here at Casa de SVJ....!!
Gorgeous old matchbox cars & squeaky toy cat....LOVE....!!!!!
This little lantern is part of a brand new collection inspired my Friends, Glenny & Daniel from the Red Brick Barn who have a FABULOUS collection of these little cuties....!!!!!
I'll show you some more pics in a couple of weeks when my office is finished....Right after the above pics were taken I started emptying out our bedroom as we're repainting the ENTIRE house white to cover that AWFUL cream I've endured for the last 6 years....!!!!!
Now that I know I can use Safari to get into my blog I'll be back posting more regularly....Future posts will include:

Ooh, Tam, I love your new office and all your littles treasures in the cubby. I am desperate for a vintage caravan at the moment and your toy ones are just fabulous.

ReplyDeleteHow goes the office makeover? I really like where you’re going with the lockers. Can’t wait to see what you’ve done with it!
Clayton Steadham
Love it all my friend. Just awesomeNESS all over the place. I love the LOCKERS so much they are fabulous
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice office! Those lockers would definitely do well in keeping your stash. Are you planning on repainting the lockers or not? If I can make a suggestion, I’d say it’d be great if you did, if just to clear out the scratches on the paint and make it look clean. You see, it looks so worn against the clean wall.
