Makeover Wednesday – Ann’s ensuite office

Ann has a terrific blog about home organizing and she embodies my belief that organizing is a process. I’m a huge fan.
Ann took me up on my offer to do a Makeover Wednesday about her workspace. Yay! Here is a picture of Ann’s office.

This lovely space is located at the end of her bedroom, which Ann says she can see while she’s in bed.
Here’s what else she said:
I want to find a balance between tidy, neat and organized (don’t want to look at piles from my bed!) but not too sterile. I won’t have a proper desk with …read more
