Weekend Edition Vol. 1: ~New Series~


Happy Weekend!

I wanted to start by saying we decided to end the Road Trip Friday Series to concentrate on “The Weekend Edition” for Friday posts from now on. So, you will have a Coffee Cup Monday post on Mondays and a Weekend Edition post on Fridays. Other special series will be just that, “Specials.”

I have missed you on the past few Mondays as I have experienced loss in my family and have had a sensitive subject issue as well that I will elaborate on next Mondays post so tune in then.

Fall and Winter puts me in the mood to re-arrange furniture, create new projects, try new recipes, work on my cookbook and so much more so I decided to turn that into the Weekend Edition Blog posts. I have been working on a space in my living room for a while, now that I have chosen to turn it into my office area while we are living here at “The Steppingstone.” I think it’s coming out good, but I am not done as of yet. Take a look below….


I REALLY need a designated office for sure and have had a few great spaces in other apartments we lived in, so I miss it so much. However, this little space is shaping up quite nicely! I had the printer on the left side, but my heater is there for the whole room, so I had to move it to the right. When it’s on the left, I lose the extra writing desk that’s in the photo above. I must have the little writing area, so the winner is the “After” photo (printer on the right). The best part is, I can always change it around at any time. I need a new anti-roll clear mat for under my chair as I am using my mat for under the sink when I wash dishes, but it’s next stop is to the garbage as my chairs roller wheels have damaged the cushioned rug. Printer on the left photo below… (another “before” photo as well)




Aren’t they GREAT? They sell by the piece so it’s not very cheap. A better option would be 6 full length door mirrors, 3 next to each other and 3 above those. I can’t wait to get started!

I have so much more to do in this space. We have only been here about a year and a half and I am still figuring out what I’d like to do here. It really is a great apartment, there just isn’t any cabinet space and it was really all wide open, so I have to get creative. The ceiling on the first level is really high, over 15 feet so I can always go up the wall in decorating. I solved the no cabinet problem with stainless islands and single standing shelving units. I’ll do a video once I get everything the way I really want it. Thanks for taking the journey.

Now go make or order some pizza for tonight! I did “Pizza Friday” for so many years in our house. I make my own dough so I’d get up extra early and mix it up and let it rise, simmer the sauce all day, prep the meats and cut the veggies and the smell would smell like a pizza parlor in the house all day. I switched it up for a month or so but, I’m ready to get back to my “Pizza Fridays” again. Sound good? Then go make or get yourself one and enjoy your weekend.
