Farmhouse Living Room Office Corner
I never thought I would have this. An office in the corner of our living room. But here we are… we have one. It all started a few weeks ago when we started our Vlog videos. Jose was having so much fun editing the videos while I blogged, but the problem was we were spending our nights in the office & in this old farmhouse of ours it’s not a well heated area.. in Michigan that is kind of miserable. Also, we were not residing in the rest of our house & only spending time in our office… We didn’t want that. The office was setup for more work meetings, work during the day [electric heater on during the day usually helps], & it’s used more for sure during the warmer months. We wanted to create an office area in the front living room where we could both hangout together [in the warmth] & work together while being cozy in our home… so, we did just that & today I thought I would share a few quick looks at what we have come up with for now…
The living room office space is next to that huge beadboard cabinet in our front living room & the built-ins by the fireplace. We used an antique table that I picked up at a barn sale last summer as the desk & I love the vintage how it looks in this little corner. I was drawn to it because of those lovely blue chippy legs & natural wood top. It’s the perfect size for a little work area as well. We really just needed space for our iMac & a little work area, nothing too big & grand. Above the table I hung this large clock [HERE] & I LOVE this look of the large clock over the small table. It’s so cozy & I know you guys know my love for large scale items. On the table I actually tried a few lamps… one from Magnolia [HERE] & one that I picked up while in Illinois last week from Midwest Retro Cool Stuff. I love both lamps here & as you can tell I’m totally into these dark lamps lately with all that contrast they provide. The chair by the table is an antique find & under the chair I just placed a mini round rug from World Market [HERE]. We just started using this space, but so far we are loving it.. but if we make any changes, you will be the first to know!
