the home office.

There is a catch when it comes to working from home. You think you have it made; no-one looking over your shoulder every day, no office gossip to worry about, being able to listen to what you want as loud as you want as you work. Best of all, working whatever hours you want. Who doesn't dream of this kind of working lifestyle?
Well the dream is pretty good. I can't lie and say I don't enjoy every minute of it. But here comes the catch, I can never leave my office. It is always there, just a few steps away from me, just another doorway to walk through. No-one to tell you it's time to go home, to stop working so late. It has been about a month now since I started my work-at-home business. Well actually, for those that have been keeping track, Rammikin has been going for a few months now (or a year if you take into consideration my old business Damsel in Design) but I have only just given up my full-time work to dedicate my time to the business.
There is one big problem that I can't seem to solve; how do I set myself a decent working schedule and stick to it? My body clock has been spun out of control since I started, going to bed at 2:30am some nights. I am lucky enough to have a great office set-up though, thanks to Simon who spent many hours on the wallpaper, shelving, bookshelves etc. This is about the time when I show off my office, because I really do love it, it is my new favourite space!





What I love:
The wallpaper design matches the patterened wallpaper we have in our bedroom, we found this from Solver Paints.
I brought my desk when we first moved to the house (our first home!), and loved that it had glass covered top so I could display all my favourite things. Originally it was full of all my gig tickets, festival guides, and old wristbands. The desk is from IKEA.
The vintage style glass water bottle is from Urban Outfitters, it's my new love!

I have a huge collection of storage boxes, most of them sit on the floor. But the gorgeous patterened ones on my shelves are my favourite, I found them at Office Works surprisingly.
The cute little UK flag clock is a souvenier from London. Currently without a battery!
Plus an assortment of wedding memoirs, including one my most adored photos that my older bro Jamie snapped during our bridal dance.
