My Office Semi-Makeover, PLUS, some decorating help needed!

Wow the blog writing is really taking a backseat lately huh?  Work has been HECTIC and BUSY to say the least.  I leave about an hour later than I thought I would every single day AND then I get home and work a few hours more.  It should calm down soon though.  I think this is what happens when you're new to a job.

The pluses though?  I LOVE the job.  I LOVE being busy, and I LOVE my office space.

I'm not done with it though and I need your help to finish it ... I know I need some prints on the wall, but I just don't know what else the space needs. 

Wanna see the makeover?

BEFORE

This was my office when I got to work the first day.  YIKES right?  I mean, it was a little bit stressful to see the mess.  SO, instead of dealing with this immediately, I decided I would tackle this on a Saturday with Evan and Liliana by my side. 

We went off to Target on Friday night and I shopped.  I decided the theme would be black and red and started finding some great deals.


Once I got rid of all the mess, it started looking a little bit better.  But, we still had plans and what a difference $80 makes!  Well, what do you think?


As you can see, I have a nice couch for students and parents to sit on during conferences.  I also have a sink behind my desk!  Cool huh?  And, another wonderful thing about this ginormous office?


My pretty view.  I get to see the kid eating lunch and get to see hills and trees throughout the day.  I love natural sunlight and love having my windows open.

I am so thankful for Evan helping to do all of this.  He was a trooper while we cleaned this up for 2 hours on a Saturday morning.  Also, Liliana was really helpful looking adorable too:

She brushed her hair while we worked ... how helpful right?


SO, I am SO very happy with my office.  It is so homey and I love spending time in it. 

Now ... what else should I do with it?  Advice?  Please?  ANY?
