And sound proof is probably a good thing at your house. Carol, it sounds like the move to a larger room might be a good idea. We all seem to be overflowing with books. Thanks for your comments, all. It's fun peeking into your work spaces. Somehow I knew you’d have dolls in your office, Cheryl. And sound proof is probably a good thing at your house.

I have winnowed bookcases down to five so that I could fit in a curio that holds my dolls (Barbies, Betsy McCalls, Madame Alexanders). Every surface is covered with papers, books, hand weights, jump drives, printers, CDs and framed pictures. The room is sound proof. You can feel silence envelope you when you walk in. I love it.</p> My office started out perfect, but then my daughter moved in and she got one end of the U shaped wall of desk and hutch.

I'm already to the point to where I could use another bookcase, as I have books stacked on the floor. Maybe this summer. :) I converted an extra bedroom, (my daughters old room – all my kids are out of the house now)into my “office” I have my computer & desk, filing cabinets, two bookcases with all my research and craft books, my Xerox all in one printer, books, etc.

Would love see that painting :) My office looks like Office Max exploded inside of it *g* Big desk, big room, book cases along one wall...lots of clutter stacked around our Blowflex ;-) I'm getting a new office this summer--we're adding a living room off our kitchen so it will be one big open room. Because I wanted an official entry way, we had this space off to one side...so we're enclosing it and making it my new office. The office will have a walk in pantry to hold the boxes of books, bookmarks, postcards, and all the other author cargo that is currently making my office a landfill. New office will overlook a pond in the front yard, and will have a glass door so I can see the kidlets, but will still have my quiet space ;-) I can't wait!!!!
