My home office


The Creative Group, a staffing agency for creative jobs, is doing a blog series on the offices of designers. They interviewed me recently to ask about working from home. You can read my answers and find a few snapshots on the TCG blog.

I'm feeling nostalgic about my workspace since I'll be packing it up this week for the move to Cincinnati. Movers arrive a week from today, eek! And then we're off to our new (very old) house in Newport, KY, just across the river from downtown. I'll give you a peek soon.

  1. Amazing!
    I have been feeling a lot of cow love, too! Glad to see I'm not so odd! Cows are delightfully photogenic/paint-ogenic!

  4. You're moving so very close to my family (aunt and cousin)! It seems like a great place to live. Good luck and best wishes in your new place!

  6. Excited to see where you end up! Old houses are my favorite...the historic charm & character, they just don't make them like that anymore.
    And, yes, Jungle Jim's is a must visit. Anything you can possibly think of (strange, gourmet, hard-to-find, foreign) you can almost guarantee will be found there.

  10. I loved seeing your colorful things. My husband and I love orange in our home office too! I think our favorite item is an orange file cabinet we got from cb2. Just the perfect orange/reddish shade. Amazing how much that can brighten up a room!

  11. Wonderful! I have a red-orange bookshelf from CB2 that I love. Wish I had everything in that store!

  12. Oh, wow! Thanks for bringing orange awesomeness to the south.

  13. LOL! I just read THIS post after reading your latest one -- you ARE in Newport. These 12-foot ceiling homes are great for warding off depression (even w/ the dark wood). You'll love it here. By the way, I am BRAND-spanking new to quilting (just researching and buying WAY too much fabric for the last several months) so if you ever feel the need to mentor -- I'm your woman!

  14. Newport! Not sure what your music tastes are, but you must check out the Southgate House Revival!

  15. Your office is awesome. I would be sad to pack it up too, but there is nothing quite like the challenge of a new space! I think it is fun to rethink and re-invision your stuff for a new home.
