Since the house seemed on overload with Christmas, I am in the mood for minimal decor at the moment. I started with the Master Bedroom, then I thought I would just stay upstairs and finish cleaning this floor before I went downstairs. So now I am Putting The House Back Together – Loft/Office-GirlCave.
It always amazes me at how dirty the house is when you take all the Christmas decor down, it seems like there are pine needles (even from faux trees) everywhere and dust bunnies galore. This calls for some deep cleaning before we can put each room back together.
I don’t go way overboard in the area decorating for Christmas, so this is a much easier room to turn back to normal. Here is what our Christmas looked like.
I love this space and spend quite a bit of time here. You can see just a glimpse in the mirror of the entertainment center that takes up the wall across from the settee and holds a tv, office supplies, and great speakers for my music. I can sit here and watch all my favorite programs and not bother anyone else.
This little wicker trunk makes a great coffee table and holds extra linens too. If we have overflow guests, we put an air mattress down in this area and all the linens are easy to grab. This room always looks inviting with tones of camel and cream, so that’s how I put it back together.
It’s fun to create a few new vignettes after Christmas. I love this faux turtle shell, it goes with the masculine lamp – a bronze golfer I found at the thrift store.
I love my office space, it is perfect for me on a day-to-day basis. This gate-leg table makes a fabulous desk.
The small bookcase next to the desk holds all my pens, note pads, tape, paperclips, chargers, and items that I use most often.
How about you, are you ready to minimize after all the Christmas overload?
