It is definitely about time that I dedicated a post to my office on the grid. This space was previously a little detached garage in our garden, home to half-finished DIY projects and a whole lot of creepy crawlies!
Converting it into an office has made such a huge difference to how I work... I love "leaving the house", even if it is just to travel a few metres, and having lots of storage for samples, which had started to take over my home!
In this 2.5 x 5 metre space, we've managed to squeeze in a teeny tiny kitchenette, a double desk, and a little comfy nook for a desk break.
My favourites are the beautiful waney-edge ash desk made by Fin Loening Joinery, who kindly let me choose my own slab from a stash in his workshop... and the little rattan chairs, which previously sat in my grandparents' bedroom overlooking the sea. I think of them every time I sit there now.
I'm looking forward to adding more artwork and other finds to this space over time.
A big thanks to the wonderful Folkenrose for the photos
