Hang It Up...

This is the wall I face, while working in my home office.
I only have to glance to the left to see the bird feeders, yard, gardens and river.
I always wish that empty little space to the left of the shelves were filled with something.
Something pretty and happy.
But it's a small, 
awkward space and I didn't think I would ever find something that would fit,
and something that I liked as well.

Enter Pier 1 Imports, they have the most amazing "Wall Ware" 
I found something that I love and fit's in the space perfectly.

This pretty Shutter, with clothes pins attached, for displaying whatever your heart desires.
It is perfect for this spot 
and I knew I could make it pretty and fun.
And it would be easy to change out the pictures when I wanted to.

Here's a close up of what I picked to display.

Here's a close up of the bottom...

and a close up of the top.
I used photographs, pictures and cards, meaningful items.

This is the doorway to the kitchen, which is then open to the family room.

And although this is a working office, I think it looks pleasant, colorful and happy...
a place I enjoy working, crafting, blogging and taking pictures of the birds!

Hello Debbie! Your office space is pretty! I like the use of the shutter with the clips and photos. Such a cute idea! Have a happy day!

What a happy and pretty office space you have, Debbie. LOVE the shutter. It is perfect in that spot. Such a lovely idea to display with different mementoes which you can randomly change. Love the peek into your kitchen and family. What a glorious, light-filled space.

Its important to have a nice space to work in at home or at work. I always made sure I had some of my things around me when I worked. Just makes the space more important to you. Your space looks great.

Debbie, I love this so much that I just ordered 2 from Pier One.
I have 2 places that I need to fill, and this would be perfect.
Thank you so much for sharing this here.

It's perfect - and I love the clips so you can change the photos and cards that you display (not that I actually would, but I bet you will!)

I confess that it looks a tad better than my office, but do you have a fridge and recliner? Hmm? So there. :)

Marie Smith said...

Beautiful, Debbie. You really have an eye for decorating.

Sally said...

You found the most perfect 'wall filler'. I love it! Pier1 is sometimes my downfall; I have to stay away for a while. :)

The home that you and Chuck have made is one of the best beautiful I've ever seen. And, with your creative gene and his; well, just wonderful.

xoxo

That is the cutest wall I have seen. The addition of the shutter is perfect.

I've noticed that you take the time to have or take pictures of you and your husband. What a treasure for you both and your kids. My daughter wanted a picture of my husband and I to hang in my grandson's room so she could call attention to it. She wanted him to see our picture often because we live 5 hours away. We didn't have any. You have inspired me to capture the moment in a personal way when we go places.

I love what you have done with your office. It is so inviting. I think I need to redo mine.
I love that shutter too. You have such good ideas Debbie. I don't know if I have ever seen your office before.
Have a great day!
