Redecorating, again

Whenever I have too much time off I always end up redecorating something (Roy says its too expensive for me to be off work :-) - so right now we are planning to finish a storage room in our basement and I want it to be a "project room"/extra office space and I think I've finally convinced Roy how great of an idea it is!! I want it to resemble his pic with the tall project table and the credenza of deep drawers to store stuff from all of my various hobbies but with the entry cabinet in the next picture and with a wrapping station that holds paper, ribbons, adornments, etc. It'll be a highly functional "multi purpose room". Here are few photos I am using as inspiration (change everything to white with green accents in your mind - I like things to look clean and crisp). Also a corner desk for Roy since our nice office furniture is constantly covered in work "stuff".

This project may be a late summer/early fall because last time I was off I picked out curtains and new bedding designed by Hubbuchs (Carolyn T. is wonderful) and we are getting some new furniture and plants for our courtyard as soon as the sun peeks through the clouds! Looking forward to sharing as soon as everything is done!

Looks so picturesque - think how productive I can be in that room! Sorry I've had this photo awhile and do not remember where it was from!

Wire In/Out Baskets so little papers have no place to hide (Ballard again)

Love this desk set from Pottery Barn but its not solid wood and I do not prefer the spaces between the credenza bases (although that would give me a great place to store all of our x-rays of Olivers hips and of the things he's swallowed :-)

I think these entryway cabinets are genius. I think the ones I am going to get have shelves above the hooks so it can hold baskets of winter wear and extra bags in the bottom (gym bag, barn bag, etc). From Ballard Designs

Def need a big bulletin board above the credenza for organization and planning and to get all of our invites off the fridge! (Also from Ballard)
