It All Started with a Hat Box!

January 3, 2009 at 5:56 am · Filed under Daily Musings

Months ago I decided that my home office wasn’t meeting my needs. I think it was about the time that we got puppy Aubrey. With her exercise pen and kennel and other paraphernalia took up about half the office. I was cramped! I didn’t have the time to deal with it, but I set an intention that I wanted to improve my surroundings!

Fast forward to my birthday in November. My very good friend, Susan Sullivan, sent me a delightful gift of gourmet English Muffins. They were delish! They came in the most exquisite hat box (okay, really a muffin box). I loved everything about this box: the size, the color, the shape, and the fabulous design.

After both these occurrences gelled in my mind for a few weeks, I had an epiphany. I was going to redo my office and create the space and colors to make it a cheerful place to be. I believe that colors can make the mood. How can someone not be cheerful staring at bright yellow or green?

This is a work in progress, but for now, I’ll share 2 things: 1) the hat box that started it all; and 2) the embarrassing *before* picture of my office with all its “cluttery” mess.

Oh, and Susan, thanks so much for the box!
