It started with new drywall and paint and turned out to be my own creative workspace, my most favorite part of the attic! 
We painted an old file cabinet that, what else, Ryan got for FREE from work :) By this point we had found the fabric for the chair, so the color choice was easy. We both agreed that two-tone drawers would look better than just one color, and added the white as a backdrop.
This chair belonged to my grandparents and was purchased on their honeymoon! Love love love the shape and size, and the memories of this in their house. It seemed so much bigger when I was a kid...
My very talented mother recovered the chair and Ryan put castors on the bottom to make it more practical. This is definitely the most sentimental piece of the space.
We couldn't decide what to do with the portion of wall above the windows. Paint? Wallpaper? While we were stuck in designer's block, we received this box in the mail (housing a pair of super cute boots!). It sat in our dining room for a couple of weeks because we figured we could probably use it for something. Being that is was free, we played around with it and eventually decided to use it as the backdrop on the wall.
I then made these pomander balls to hang in front of the green cardboard.
An old utensils holder was the perfect rotating station for everything I need within arms' reach.
And this is how my desk usually looks when I'm in the middle of a project!
