A place I love: My office.

Erin over at House Of Turquoise featured my office on her blog. Go take a peek.

Her blog inspires me to no end. She is a genius.

My office is where I work, it is where I come to read at night, listen to music and unwind after a day of chasing my rug rat around. It comforts me to be surrounded by photos I love, old treasures and trinkets, furniture with a story, and it's turquoise-brightness that brightens my mood.

The photo below was taken by my mom when Conrad was 4 days old. I remember being so exhausted and tired after we got back from the orthopedic surgeons office where we learned that he had to wear his hip harness. I think I was all cried out when this photo was being taken, But I'm so glad she took it. Theres something really sweet about this photo. Maybe that he's asleep after nursing.

 I don't know. I just love it.

My little camera collection minus 3 others. Nothing too fancy.

Self portrait of Mom & I circa 2000. My freshman year of high school. I remember going through a huge black and white phase. I'd steal my parents camera and go nuts. I think this is right around when I started to fall in love with photography. 

This bookshelf belonged to Dustin's parents. They got it from Ethan Allen when they got married and gave it to us when we got married. I love Ethan Allen furniture because they stamp the year that it was made on the back. The bowl and pitcher (below) was my Mom's. She gave it to me when she decided I was responsible enough not to break it. (2 years ago....) Thanks Mom. It's been in our family for ages. It is the first antique of my mothers that has been handed down to me. I've got my eye on a few others....

The office also doubles as Conrad's play room.... the floor is almost always covered in toys.

{But I cleaned it nice for you today.}

Do you have a favorite room in your home that you'd like to be featured?

I'd love to show it off to inspire others in their nesting endeavors.
