I've been struggling with my office for awhile now. This is not my office at home but at our business. I tried to go kinda "Junk Cottage" awhile back, but it is just not working for me.
I'm kinda stuck with modern-ish furniture, and of course those beautiful office machines that everyone depends on to actually get things done.
You can't see it in this pic, but just below this shelf is a printer, to the left of that the monitor/keyboard, and then other office machines next to that.
And of course wonderful filing cabinets, postage machine, and copy machine.
So I've decided if you can't beat em, join em.
I'm changing it all to "Vintage Industrial Office Junk Chic" .
I did this gear wall art a few months ago, and I love it. I've also got a small collection of old office products that I'll be using. I have a few other ideas too.
I'm thinking anything Metal, Old, Industrial, etc. so
Watch for Industrial Junk projects forthcoming...
And if you have any ideas, send them to me. I'm gonna have fun with this.

Between online sales and my booth, I'm having my best sales month ever, and I just wanted to say Thanks!!!!! Finding stuff is half the fun, making stuff is half the fun and selling it is half the fun. Wait a minute.... Oh well, you get the idea. Oh and I forgot, Getting to know other junkers is half the fun, that's a whole lotta fun.
I just wanted to say a word of Thanks to all my customers, readers, and supporters out there.
Here's a great big hug headed your way (O).
