a new year - a new start

Happy New Year all,





I was going to start this last Friday and then I couldn't locate the photos I wanted. So, without beating myself up, here is the beginning of posts on Fridays. I am going to start with the laundry/mudroom/office. The photo below is my current "desk".



Behind me are the washer and dryer and to my right the wall of jackets - neither of them photo ready. I did a study abroad my junior year in college in France and took some inspiration from the franco look - though I think our franco look is very American inspired.
However, I covered the lamshade in linen with a little ruffle,
along with this desk chair I had purchased from a neighbor when we first moved into our house and were in need of many things.



I added a little zip with the zebra striped pillow.

I found the folders at deep discount at an office supply store. Now when I look into my office/laundry/mudroom, I like the view.



It's a far cry from whence it came...

Have a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend.
Kathleen
