"The first Saturday of each month, I'll introduce one Simple Swaps as a way encouraging my friends here to find the time and resources to make simple changes aimed at gaining a healthier, more inspired, intentional lifestyle. "
I read over the post and realized that I do not have a space in my home to call my very own, or atleast I don't have one that sparks any sort of creativity (unless you count the shower, I get my best thinking done in there!). I thought about how my little desk/computer/office nook (the landing at he top of our staircase, just outside the three bedrooms of the house) has gotten messy and cluttered and is just plain depressing. How am I ever going to produce quality blog posts in a nasty, dark corner? And you know what, maybe...just maybe....this is the reason why I can't ever seem to come up with anything good to post about (see: how i only post once a week, if that!). So I took on the challenge. I carved 15 minutes out of my day to transform this space into something warmer, and more creative. I must say, I took longer than 15 minutes, and my space isn't totally done yet (i need staple gun so i can reupholster my desk "chair".
So here is my before.....
And my after.....
Isn't it lovely?
I was especially excited because my husband isn't a big fan of asian-inspired decorations and i am, so i was able to make this space truly my own. Do you notice I even added a really cool desktop background to match my theme?
Thanks Hyacynth, for helping me off of my writer's block and make me feel more in-tuned to myself so I can get back to creating and writing like I love! ;-)

I know I already shared how awesome your space looks, but Jen, really, it looks fabulous! I'm so glad you have a space just for YOU so you can write and breathe and just let the creativity unfold.
You made such a beautiful Creative Oasis, and I hope it provides so many hours of serenity for you!
What a beautiful space! And I have that same desktop theme! :) I really need to do this too. Right now I work at the dining room table - even after the last place we lived where I declared, VOWED, to not work where I eat. Gotta figure something else out.
Love this...SOOO well done! :)
