A Mess (I mean Work) in Progress…

Welcome to my mess work in progress.  Once upon a time, about six years and 11 months ago, I was an organized neat freak.  Wait a second.  That also happens to be exactly how old my sweet Addison is right now.  I know all of my mommy fans know this all too well.  If I’d have seen the inside of my car right now seven years ago, I’d have thought, clearly my husband took over this vehicle.  Okay kidding kidding.  But nonetheless, I’ve deemed keeping my home and car clean these days to be about as easy as brushing your teeth while eating oreos.  Can I get an amen?!?

As you’ve seen in my posts, we’ve pretty much “finished” all of the rooms in our new home.  We remodeled it from top to bottom in the last ten months and although there are lots of projects still in my head and on my honey do list, I will call every room complete.  Wow that word is strangely difficult for me to write.  As a designer, I think that is almost impossible to do.  AND since my husband admits to be an avid AW blog stalker, I will say that no room of mine will ever be “finished”.  Lol.  Anyways, every room is complete except for one.  And this room has been driving me ca-razy for the last ten months.  It is my office.  It is the first room on the right when you enter our home and right now it is a huge eyesore.  It’s filled with boxes of who knows what and random shelving that I am hoping will eventually be a library wall.

Here is the room BEFORE…

I will keep my opinions about these color choices to myself and let you decide…
