...a closet full of stuff.
After that it was on to a shared portable that I showed here and here:
and eventually on office "up on the hill" not far from the administration building (but connected to the school's alternative behavior program...oh well, close enough). I recently mentioned here that I've moved again but before I did I snapped a few pictures of the old office.
It was bright turquoise when I moved in but that didn't bother me--I already had a lamp to match! The area around my desk was covered in cards and notes that made me smile:
Dual monitors are the greatest thing! How did I ever work without them?
You can just see the top of the giant Eiffel Tower collage that my sister- and mother-in-law put together for me with pictures of our 2013 trip to Europe. I love seeing the pictures and remembering all of the places we went. Up near the top is a painting I made at one of those "paint with a twist" kinds of places.
I insisted on snagging my in-laws' old loveseat and putting it in my little office. I meant to sit on it when I had a lot of grant reading to do but my reading load decreased once I got the couch and everyone else sat on it a lot more than I did. It was comfy, though!
I made curtains to eliminate the afternoon glare on my computer. I also took apart a Paris calendar and hung all of the pictures to brighten up the place. I also framed and added ribbon hangers to a couple of watercolor pictures of Paris that my sister- and brother-in-law picked up for me on one of their trips.
Hey, a purple Christmas tree!
The artwork is from my Texas Wesleyan days. It lived a HMS after I left but when the grant ended their I reclaimed them and now they're a real bright spot in my office. I love the decal on the side of the filing cabinet: a giant Eiffel Tower!
Next week I'll cover the new space, which includes a couple of new pieces and some blank wall space. You'll have to give me some ideas on how to fill it!
