Our Home Office

As promised, we're going behind the double doors tonight.




I was so happy the day I found this unique print. A row of books...I love it!






"Rotary Phone" which is really a push-button phone, from Pottery Barn. I've seen a few of these on your sites too. It was so perfect for this room.














Down the hall, and looking up the stairs.

One December several years ago, I said to my husband, "Guess what Honey...my Christmas gift is sitting in the window of a little Shop on Main Street." You are now looking at the end of that story. Lucky me, happy me! : )
My amateur take, on decorating an office. Thanks for stopping by!

    Wow, you did a GREAT job on your office/library/den. Very patriotic. I adore the picture of George Washington humbling himself to his knees and praying.

    Love the smattering of antiques here and there too. Great job.

    Blessings,

    What a great office! I love all the vintagey things as well as the presidential tidbits. I'm a book fiend, so I love that you have loads of books on the shelves and pictures of books. The picture at the top of your stairs is one that I have admired for a long time. The desk you have under it is just wonderful.

    Thanks for the tour!

    I loooooooove that leather chair and everything else you did to your office! You really have a special niche for decorating. Your house should be in a home magazine-AND I'm not just saying that. You have real talent for putting things together.
    I love your office-Perfect.

    Your home office is amazing. I love the vintage masceline feel of it. It is easy for so many of us to do the girly side of the past, but manly can be awesome as well.

    Oh, I sure wish my husband's office looked like this! I'm going to show him this and tell him to clean up his mess and make it look pretty in there. I love all the neat things you have, especially that print of the books.
