Mini home office

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>We have a small home office nook just off our main living area. At the moment, we have an ugly 'armoire' that houses the modem, printer, and other office paraphenalia. Now that we only have laptop computers, we don't need to worry about storing a tower and monitor, so I'm thinking of ditching the armoire for a nice desk/shelving/display arrangement, where I can inject a little more interest and personality. I also have a gorgeous old captain's chair, with a cast-iron base, which I've been wanting to use for years but haven't had the spot. So, I went looking for some online inspiration, and this is what I found:<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ1H2jY3eSGCllNpYo_aGrWxLvQdtug6WW59Z0_kWzG-RW2q1fzsd0rVd2ouDt6foa9DcvK49t7kCIKe_SQB1sAa1U2EI7LLiY_SBM6WUROc-199YMVanbOjfJkH3eAK-7SzHH1vMHfyk/s1600/office+housetohome+co+uk+personal-home-office.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

For many years, I was a garage sale junkie. Every Saturday morning, I'd wake at the crack of dawn to trawl the local sales for treasures. And what treasures there were to be found! I was constantly amazed at the things people were discarding. Think huge cedar chests of drawers, beautiful carved mirrors, picture frames, the odd chaise <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">longue</span> or two; you name it. I bought it.<br /><br />I've restored and sold many of these over the years, but one of the advantages of living on acreage is that I have a huge shed. A shed which is still full of goodies, either awaiting restoration, or inspiration, or both. So I thought I'd share a few of these with you all each week, and we can discuss what should become of them. <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Ok</span>, I'm starting small this week, because it's pouring with rain at the moment and they were much easier to wrangle than a marble-topped dining table! <br /><br />This chair is one that I managed to pick up for $1, and the little <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">chandy</span> for $5. The chair is painted a fetching shade of mission brown (ugh!) but the <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">chandy</span> had already been given the white treatment.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieCySTMudIkaaxuTgxn3HWo1yt0IrO1r_L6NRwJZO4ftl8xgKLVVEFEwt11pFt8sc5CEmVtBaEqaTXXdg_CgBDdvReb1f49FNJQpKuEz48sYC1N5rOFUno89Xf7POKKcoSUaXz4v4Nfs0/s1600/chair+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieCySTMudIkaaxuTgxn3HWo1yt0IrO1r_L6NRwJZO4ftl8xgKLVVEFEwt11pFt8sc5CEmVtBaEqaTXXdg_CgBDdvReb1f49FNJQpKuEz48sYC1N5rOFUno89Xf7POKKcoSUaXz4v4Nfs0/s400/chair+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkB5KmCVzMoOU-HWITaGXSy_uDOYlQ_ud-I07WIChaB2TVW0fig4yO3QJ9zMyVUIAVN6RBiXc0hYPLsow5pCk7-XxcSmiV4-2w4Am54qsMzkMXkJRTXVxj1wZoWJxfE5HyzFw8uvWRck/s1600/chair1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghkB5KmCVzMoOU-HWITaGXSy_uDOYlQ_ud-I07WIChaB2TVW0fig4yO3QJ9zMyVUIAVN6RBiXc0hYPLsow5pCk7-XxcSmiV4-2w4Am54qsMzkMXkJRTXVxj1wZoWJxfE5HyzFw8uvWRck/s400/chair1.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">The chair will probably end up as my new home office chair, and I'm even considering painting it in a colour other than white (shocking I know!)
