Come On In: "Itty-Bitty" Changes In My Office

Come On In!

Last week, I showed some little changes in the Boy's room.

This week, I wanted to show you what I have done differently in my office.

I LOVE to take a little bit of time,

a little bit of a creative idea,

and make a "Itty-Bitty" change that makes

a big difference to me.

(Maybe not to anyone else, but to me-I fall asleep smiling knowing I completed something that day.)

I feel like I have accomplished so much!

It could be just me,

-Actually I KNOW it is just me-

but I fall asleep making a mental list of what I need to get done.

Little ideas or little things that I just want to finish.

I don't like things 'undone'.

The boys room (which I showed last week-),

my office,

and even in my bedroom (which I will show you next week-),

there were a few little things that needed to be finished, or just changed up a bit.

And over Christmas break-

I felt like I accomplished so much by getting some little (but irksome to me-) things done!

So my office:

I love this room.

In a house full of boys,

this room is all mine.

I have a pink chair,

white furniture,

stripes on a wall-

a pink phone,

all (well, most-) of my books,

And every time I walk in,

I just love it.

I sit and read, or pay the bills here,

(that's not so fun-)

or tutor in the evenings-

(the desk top is a chalkboard which I use with my students, or sometimes my sons as they practice writing spelling words-)

 I just really like this room.

But,

the picture frames were blank!

When I got ready for my interview,

and (subsequent teaching job-) last July,

I pulled out all my diplomas,

and awards from the frames-

and never put them back.

I left them in my teaching portfolio.

And the frames were blank forever...

Every time I walked in to my office,

I thought to myself,
"Oh shoot. I need to get something in those frames!"
But when I walked out again,
I promptly forgot again each time.

Over Christmas break,

I finally made a list of a few little

"Itty-Bitty"

changes I wanted to make around the house.

Pictures in here being on the list.

I went on-line and

googled

"Vintage school room"

and printed out the pictures I liked on my printer.

Five minutes,

and I checked off one thing on my list:

Pictures in my office.

Ahhhh. Done.

(...who liked her office, and now loves the vintage schoolroom pictures that are finally in the empty frames!)
