It started off with a spare bed and my sewing stuff and quickly became the place to put anything we didn't know where else to put. Now days I do my sewing downstairs because I can't stand looking at the mess. We don't have an office, we have the main computer at a desk in the family room. All the kids have laptops for school and our rule is that you use them in the family room. This is just so we can keep a bit on an eye on what is going on and so they don't become computer recluses. Your inspiration pics are very pretty. Good luck with the project.The Moerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052384345158012756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-30788135883994576862012-10-02T06:35:58.986+08:002012-10-02T06:35:58.986+08:00I noticed your inspiration images the other day on...I noticed your inspiration images the other day on Pinterest - they're very nice. I love my work space and yes, organisation is the key, something I'm not good at. Every so often I need to put all my mess back in place and start again.<br />Our spare room is not a nice space, but maybe one day I will get to it - there are just other priorities :)<br />xxSarah Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869923063594203447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-52635729152405380132012-10-02T04:51:44.186+08:002012-10-02T04:51:44.186+08:00Hi..

I love the top pic, the colours are so pretty! <br /><br />We have a combined study/spare room too.. we did it up a little while ago (you can see it here - http://heybubbles.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/study-spare-room.html) and we are pretty happy with the space although we between the two of us we have so much stuff that we could always use more storage!<br /><br />The other thing about the open shelves above the desks is that for us they've ended up being full of stuff - they are very practical for storage, but not as 'pretty' as I'd hoped. I guess in a space like an office pretty has to make way for practical some times. <br /><br />Also - we are planning on getting a sofa bed at some point and replacing the double bed with that... the extra room/sitting space would be welcome. <br /><br />And finally, our study/spare room is down on the bottom floor of our house and it's the only room down there so we've got the dolls house and some colouring in stuff down there to entertain the kids if we're working down there while they're awake.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12062709132371046592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-51782283328452785512012-10-01T20:43:40.388+08:002012-10-01T20:43:40.388+08:00We did have an office/guest room with fold out sof...We did have an office/guest room with fold out sofa until the twins came along and now it seems to have become my room for dumping everything that i don't want them to touch!!!<br />I love your ideas and inspiration...good luck with it Amanda!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586610467519318424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-9412344969484531782012-10-01T19:32:55.183+08:002012-10-01T19:32:55.183+08:00Hello Gorgeous This is the post I've been wait...Hello Gorgeous This is the post I've been waiting for - I'm excited that the scheming has begun! I love all 3 photos but the last looks too styled to actually represent life with littlies, don't you think?! Thanks for the sweet mention. Keep an eye on Officeworks for the cloth covered boxes. They told me they bring in a new colour about every 3 months so to make space, they clear out the old colour at fabulous prices. Instead of paying $28 for my A3 boxes, I only paid $15. Good luck!

We are currently in the process of trying to decide whether or not to split the twinadoes up. A big part of it makes my heart sad, but not the part that needs sleep! We have been sleeping them separately for the past few days and wow, they sleep. It's amazing. I think it's probably better for all of us. Anyhow, if we go down that track, we have some serious room switcharoo and decorating to do, so that's exciting!

For a while it was Ebony's room {Chris's daughter....she lived with us for a while}, and then it became the dumping/hiding/storage room :) When I started my business in early 2010, we transformed it into a home office/spare room. It was a mammoth job. But I loved it once it was done! I hid the draw unit in the cupboard, and that was my storage for paper, envelopes, craft supplies etc. We had a King Single bed in there for when Ebony or Jayden came to stay, and we bought an Ikea desk {the long white one} and created a lovely workspace for me :) It worked really well....until I fell pregnant with Ryder....and it became his room!!! Hence why we moved to a bigger house :) <br />I can't wait to see what you do with your home office / spare room. ENJOY :) <br />xxClaire Chadwick @ Scissors Paper Rockhttp://blog.scissorspaperrockdesigns.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828021706958060839.post-54672159479917259822012-10-01T16:26:54.560+08:002012-10-01T16:26:54.560+08:00Ooo I love your inspiration pictures.

I would love a guest room but sadly our home is too small for that but I do love our little office/my craft room which started it's days as a little unused verandah. If I could change it maybe it would be nice to be a little bigger so I could have a bed in there too. I hope you've had a lovely weekend with your beautiful family. xxCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314373295390794669noreply@blogger.com
