Who is Tammy? She's my momma! Unfortunately my Mom lives far far away and I can't help her with the day to day tasks of her very busy and fulfilling life. But I want to. So for Mother's Day I asked her to let me post a picture of her command center in hopes that I could inspire her to something greater!
This is where my Mom runs her household, she also helps run my Dad's campaign for State Senate, participates in so many charitable activities I can't keep them straight, and helps run my Dad's medical practices. Yep, she's an all-star who really needs a hard working home office.
There are a few things I really like about this office space. The carpet is nice and neutral, the chair is graphic and interesting, and the drapes are beautiful. We've got lots of positives to work with. There are some things that aren't working; I don't like how the chair is shoved into a tiny space between the window and the pull-out, a general lack of workspace, and far too many cords. I have a few different directions she could go, why don't y'all tell me which one you like best? Don't worry Mom, all of them involve getting rid of the armoire!

#1. Paint the back wall of the niche Sherwin Williams Argyle.
And add in a desk, white storage mounted to the wall, some lighting, and ta da! You've got a fantastic new office space.
#2 I thought it would be great to pull the desk out from against the back wall and replace it with storage in the niche. I would move the desk out about three feet from the storage unit and have the chair in between the desk and the bookcase. This way Tammy could see people as they walk in the door to the office, as opposed to having her back to the door. I really like this desk with this bookcase.
#3This option is all custom baby! I saw this picture and thought that something like this on a more narrow scale would also work really well. There is a ton of height in this room that is not being used, and these book towers would really capitalize on that square footage. I would recommend not having any storage at the base however. I think my Mom's niche is too small for that. Just go up!
Which is your favorite? I think I know which one Mom will pick!
