Since moving inside the perimeter, (the part of the city that Atlantans proudly refer to as living ITP) space has taken on a new shape for my family of four, two dogs, and cat. To sum it up, space is TIGHT.
For the first two years, I would lug my ginormous iMac to the kitchen table to work on design projects. It would get pushed to the edge to make room for dinner and lugged back upstairs when guests came over. A solution, sure. But, for anyone who knows me and my (okay, I'll admit it...) obsessive nature, it wasn't going to pan out as a long-term solution.
Without the luxury of adding to our square footage, I decided to make use of the space we already had. I would create a CLOFFICE! A what?
I turned our downstairs closet into a compact, yet brilliant office! I can't express how important it is to have a space that nurtures and inspires your creativity. I wish I had taken a before picture, but I can assure you that it was a jumbled mess . . . one of those closets that you open and pray that you don't get hit over the head with falling debris. Now, it is my HAPPY PLACE!
(By the way, the lovely print of Jane Austen book spines is from artist Jane Mount. She "paints portraits of people through spines of their favorite books." These adorable works of art are super affordable and makes the perfect gift for any book lover!)
