nearly finished office

I've neglected this place for a few weeks. I haven't been feeling/doing well. I think I currently have a sinus infection, but we'll see how it goes (away, hopefully!). While my husband was out of town recently, I did a lot of work in here (den/office - I'm not even sure what a 'den' room is...). I didn't get it completely finished, but it's, as Doug said, 200 times better than it was. So here are some pictures. I did not take any before's because I was too embarrassed.

Looking into the room from the hallway. I'm seriously in love with the green walls. Above the bookcase is a piece of once-scrap wood that my oldest (Birdie) burned with a magnifying glass last summer. I thought it was cool so I lightly stained it and hung it here.

Still kinda messy, you see Doug's corner. He's actually the most organized and neatest person in this house. I have no doubt it will be whipped back into shape in no time. The price he pays for going out of town on me like that! But I post this picture mostly to show the two different colors. Three walls are the lighter shade while the west wall is this darker. It makes me happy.

My desk area. The cream-colored totes on the shelves we already had but I found the green ones on clearance at walmart while getting more paint. I used my paint chip to check if they would match. Yay for a good deal!

Kinda the kids' area. A few years ago I chalkboard painted the recesses on the back of the door. On the wall we have a board with lines for music (Doug teaches the girls piano) and their bookshelf. It's full. And there are still more books. Also there the map of the US so we can show them where friends and family live.

Finally, while at walmart I also found 3 very cheap document frames ($2 each) and hung these paintings Tessa has done within the past year. I'm not sure about the one on the left aside from it just being a person. The one in the middle is Laura Carrot from VeggieTales and on the right, I think that's me.
