The attic office space is finished! Sort of. There are still some finishes that need to be done (molding, doors to close off the eave storage areas and for the closet, more seating options and eventually a new desk, and a few other things), but it’s completely functional and even starting to look pretty now that I’ve started filling up the bookshelves.
I love sitting at my desk that faces the window with my view of the neighbors’ rooftops and yards (though mostly there’s just a lot of snow out there right now), and the boys certainly enjoy the space. A bonus for the winter is that it’s the warmest room in the house.
Now that we’ve been clearing out the boxes and getting organized, I’m realizing how much good space we have up there. The floor space is big, and even with the limited headroom on the sides, it feels spacious. I’ll have to go through all my pictures of the attic and put together some before and after photos for you all. But for now, I’m just gonna enjoy my new room for what is meant for: writing!
Great writing space! 🙂 😉 Enjoy!
Thanks, Kerry! Currently sitting at my desk typing this. 🙂
It’s beautiful!!! And I see happy faces!!!
Of course it doubles as a playroom for the boys.
Attics, despite having the connotation in gothic literature for hiding crazy aunts, make the BEST writing places. Suspended above the fray, in your own sloped-ceiling room, you will do great things.
I hope so, Mirka. At the very least, it’s given this expanding family some much needed space.
What a great space. I’m jealous–I’ve been trying to convince my wife to let me use our attic as a writing studio. Maybe if I show her this post she’ll see what I’m talking about!
Thanks! I hope you can convince your wife to create an attic studio. Maybe if you offer to do a lot of the work yourself… 😉
NIce.
Thanks, Suzanne!
love the new writing space!
Thanks! Me too. Already logging in some hours up there.
I love sitting at a desk in front of the windows. Enjoy your office!
Thanks, Claudine! Lots of white to look at right now. 🙂
