As any author will tell you, there’s no substitute for having your own office–a quiet, dedicated work space free from snoring husbands and Matchbox cars–where you can focus on the voices in your head. So I transformed our formal dining room (really, were we ever going to use it?) into my bright and sunny sanctuary-o-fiction.

Before:

Seldom-used dining room.

And after!

 

Ta-da!!!

Other views:

Isn't that a pretty carpet?

Yes, the walls are bare. I'm holding out for my cover art.

My very own cozy reading corner!

View from the opposite entrance.

Ipod player, calendar, and messy plot reminders on my bulletin and dry-erase boards.

 

Much better than a dining room, don’t you think?

    It’s absolutely gorgeous! I want that desk! Where’d you get it? I wish you’d come decorate at my house!!

      Heather, my parents gave me the furniture, which originally came from Pulaski, VA. It’s so much prettier in person, with the hand-painted roses.

        I have a new desk and Ty says he’ll paint it any way I want. Can you send me better pics? I want to do something similar! I wonder if he thought I’d want roses painted on my desk? Lol!
        The rug is gorgeous! I need details on that, too!!
