I wanted to show you where I
LABOR
this is from BALLARD DESIGNS catalog and ....
I WANT IT !!
THIS is my humble, little space.....
my Social Security Budget will not allow for a NEW desk...
but, I CAN afford a little BLACK paint,
SOOOOO,
my next project is to PAINT MY DESK
and re-do this entire
DO-IT-ALL room in the fall.
I have my computer in here, my sewing machine, some bookshelves and a spot for wrapping gifts,
doing a little crafting and just ODDS and ENDS.
it says..."BLOGLAND...
SHARING,
CARING,
& INSPIRATION"
and the sweet sisters, KARI & KIJSA
sent it to me.
I just love it and I keep it sitting right there where I see it EVERY DAY.
THANK YOU AGAIN, LADIES
THANK YOU AGAIN, LADIES
if I had a beauty like THIS room to work in.....
"SWEET DREAMS, BABY....."

Good morning, BJ. I believe it was Brenda at Brenda's Blog.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with your space. I would like to perk my space up some, too - but it is much further down on "the list".
Luxury = "A spot for wrapping gifts."
ReplyDelete(sigh--I'm jealous)
I'm going to be the last hold out; I am NOT going to have black furniture!
I don't understand the why of it.
Times are tough as everything but the paycheck goes up up up. The good thing about that and blogging is it makes us look at what we already have differently. Instead of purchasing new, we reinvent what we already have. I think your desk will be awesome painted black. It will give it a whole new look.
ReplyDeleteHi Bj...my work space is a horrible mess right now!!...I guess that means its getting used...LOL.
ReplyDeleteHave a GREAT day!
Hugs,
Robin
I wish I had a place for wrapping gifts....I think your desk is going to look amazing painted black!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
Good morning BJ, I am feeling very well today at last. That is until the therapist comes and destroys my confidence with knee bending pain. What must be, must be, if I want to dance. smiling.
ReplyDeleteI actually like your space. Quit looking at those rooms and getting down. Smile. Your move to redo that room is good therapy. At least it is for me. I LOVE DECORATING. So get the paint and start redoing. Hard work, but rewarding and fun. You definitely know what looks classy and appealing. You have the TOUCH! Not everyone does you know.
Take it easy though, You just went through major surgery. Who am I to tell that? LOL
Love you girl...Jeanne
Just wanted to say Thank You for posting our Welcome to our Neighboorhood. You are too sweet.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing. I rarely talk politics as I am not qualified at all. I tuned in to hear Palin's speech last night (being nosey and curious). I don't usually listen to speeches because I feel they all promise you the world until they get into office. I was quite impressed. I went from "Oh no" to I think she can handle the job of Vice President and bring with her some change. She has beauty and brains. It will be interesting to see where I'm at when it comes time to vote.
Me Again!
ReplyDeleteI emailed you, but I am not sure if you received it. You were the winner of my 300th post giveaway. Please email me at lavenderhillstudio@mchsi.com so we can talk about it!
Hugs,
Penny
I betcha painting that desk black will make a huge impact on your space. With your creativity I'll bet your work area will make that Ballards stuff look "blah" Besides...any room looks good when It has your smile to light things up! Have a great day my friend!
ReplyDeleteHi BJ! I'm thinking of relocating my "office" out of the kitchen and into another corner of the house. We have a great old cabinet that I could really use for kitchen storage. But, thankfully, no painting would be involved! =) Blessings... Polly (p.s. the lace pumpkins are from vintagetrifles.blogspot.com)
ReplyDeleteYour work space is very nice and will be even better when it is black. Seems to me you are very inspired where you are. Do you think you could handle much more inspiration?
ReplyDeleteI think you need one of those zebra rugs. SO sassy!
ReplyDeleteI think your workspace is very cozy. I have to share with 3 kids, so mine is usually a mess. Oh, how I long for empty nest syndrome! LOL
Good morning BJ...I love your work area. Mine is so small too...and scattered!!! I craft in one area...then blog in another..lol!
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of these days it will all come together!
Can't wait to see your room re-do!
Hugz,
michele
Sounds like a plan to me BJ. Keep us updated on the room.
ReplyDeleteNoticed you had Sarah Palin's pic on your blog. Don't you just love her !
Have a blessed day BJ !
Love your space its adorable!
ReplyDeleteIf black moves you then do it!
What ever makes YOU happy !
I wish I had a spot just for wrapping...... envy here!
Take care,
Diane
Oh you lucky, lucky girl! penny's art is so wonderful! My work area is a work in progress , but some day I'll show it:>)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you!
ReplyDeleteNow, I am so ready to see this space done, you will have to make sure to do it! Wish I could be there to help!
Just wanted to stop by and say congrats for winning the drawing over at Lavender Hill Studio. Can't wait to see your selection when it arrives. Good luck in transforming your work space.
ReplyDeleteI like that room, too BJ! I can't wait to see your "new" Ballardized desk! Yep...I can see that rug too!
ReplyDeleteI have a corner of J's room in the basement. I keep saying I'm going to fix something cuter and with less clutter room!!!
I think that desk will be a knock out in black! The way I see it, the bigger the space, the bigger the chance for a bigger mess! I like a multi-functional space and it sounds like yours is perfect!! Love your Sarah picture--whoo-hooo!!! Dana
ReplyDeleteI usually spend so much time in my computer room, that's why last year I decided to completely redo it...in pink and with faeries all around me:-) That's what makes this my special room and one where I am happy and relaxed. I know that you will turn your computer room into one you will just love as well!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being Penny's winner:-) xoxo
Congrats for winning Penny's giveaway! I'm so glad it was you!
ReplyDeleteI think your work area would be awesome painted in black! It would sure be a great transformation.
Oh my work area is so not pretty. I doubt I'll be posting it, lol.

Hi BJ
ReplyDeleteBet your desk will look great painted black! I'm really loving the look of black painted furniture!
Diane
Hi BJ!
ReplyDeleteI just love paint and muslin! It's such a wonderful thing next to duct tape!! Your desk would look great painted black.
congrats on winning Penny's giveaway, you lucky girl!!
Glad you liked my dressform, I had lots of fun making her come to life!
Hugs, Sherry
Good evening BJ hope your day has been busy enough to keep you young at heart.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you won the cross. Take care my good friend.
God bless.
Hi Bj, thanks for coming by my backporch ! You may use any pictures you would like. Do I need to email them to you or can you just take them from rms? I'm new to blogging world, so I'm not sure how it works!
ReplyDeleteMy little blog is only 3 days old....I'm just crawling around, don't really know what the heck I'm doing... please come by and check it out... I made it SNOW ! It's www.santamakersjourney.blogspot.com.
Hey BJ, I have a nice little desk built in my kitchen to use my computer on...but I always lay in bed and do my blogging...go figure....:) Nancy
ReplyDeleteI love your space!! I think your desk will look wonderful black!!
ReplyDeleteI left you a little something on my latest post. It seemed appropriate for you;)
