See, I really use it!!

Do you ever look at a picture of a room in a magazine or on a blog and wonder if the people who live in the house actually use the room?? You know, the lamps have no electrical cords, there’s nothing but a bowl of limes on the kitchen counter, everything is neat & tidy & spotless… well, I thought I’d give you a peek at my home office as it looked this morning, just in case you were wondering if I use it as much as I told you I do :-)

I was up till 1:30 last night working on a sample board for my colour class tonight — yes, I’m picking up bad habits from Victoria!! ;-P When I went back down to my office this morning to finish up the board, this is what my office looked like:

Holy crap, I’m a slob!!! Oh well, it’s all part of the creative process :-) Here’s the reason for the mess — the sample board for my colour class:

Thanks to my friend Erica in my colour class who recommended using little sticky pieces of foam to add dimension. I went a little sticky-foam-crazy, but I really like the 3D effect :-) Which you can’t really see in the picture, but trust me, it’s there!!

OK, now I have to head back to my office and study for my exam tonight. UGH!!

Quick reminder: You have until the end of today to participate in our giveaway. Head over to this post and leave a comment with the colour you think hubby and I selected for our kitchen cabinets.
