Before Covid (like January 2020) I decided to turn the back upstairs bedroom into an office space I could use to tackle bill pay, store art stuff, write blog posts, etc. I even went so far as buying a little desk and when coronavirus arrived and the office I was working for shut down, that little back bedroom became my workspace. It lasted… about 2 weeks. I loathed how isolated I felt (in the world! In my own house!) and decided to move into the living/dining room and work on a small secretary desk. So I abandoned the upstairs room and it’s cute little desk. I worked downstairs for over a year, but my work mess always spilled over into the rest of the living area. As much as I loved being part of the action and watching the street out the front window, it was never a long term solution. Flash forward to now and opening up my own company: @laureldesigncollective. I needed space to spread out drawing sets and samples and I needed to get OUT of my dining room. So I turned to the recently vacated FRONT upstairs bedroom. From this room I could still see the street and people watch the passersby. So I decided to make this room the official Laurel Design Collective Offices (until we grow too big for it!). The dormer closet can serve as extra library storage and this room is big enough for a large double desk and a small side desk (future intern??). So now it’s time to turn this room into a space I’m proud to have in the background of all my zoom calls! More on that in my stories! #berrybrier #berrybrieroffice
